How to: Find the Right Ballet Shoe!

Hello Dancers!

Do you have trouble finding the right shoe size? Ballet slippers can be tricky since they aren't like your sneakers. I know some parents have a hard time figuring out what the best size would be. To be honest, its actually an easy process!


1) First, start with your sneaker shoe size. Grab that size and try it on.


Does it fit? Here's how to tell!


2) Stand up! This lets your heel slide to the back of the shoe, which is where it should be.


3) Then, feel where your toes are. Are they poking the front of the shoe? If so, then the shoe is a little too small. If you have some room, then they are just right!

4) Finally, make sure you pull the laces tight if it is loose around the top of your foot. Tuck those laces inside the shoe to make sure they don't come out during class.


If you get to step 4 and the shoe is too big or too small, try another size up or size down and repeat!
