Irish Dance Soft Shoes: Fays Platinum ghillies $$

This is one of the best pairs of ghillies I have worn.  I found them to be very comfortable, although I ordered them way too big! These, like most ghillies, tend to stretch a bit. General size guidelines are 1.5-2 sizes smaller than your street. I got a 7.5 UK and really could've used a 6 or 6.5.  Try them on at a feis or through a vendor if you can. The leather quality is excellent on these shoes, and they have a nice, black suede sole.
Quality: Good leather, the sole has a nice punchy feel with good construction.
Price point: $40-50
Fit: These are in UK sizes. While sizing says 1.5-2 sizes smaller than street, I found them to fit closer to 3-3.5 sizes smaller, depending on how tight you like your shoes. 
What I liked: Quality, feel, general comfort.
What I didn't like: sizing, but that was really my error.
Where to buy:  www.fayshoes.com

I have purchased from both vendors and had excellent customer service.  They both ship pretty fast and are very nice to deal with.
