Leather Ballet Shoes - Size Guide

Style No. 3547

How to Measure Your Foot

  1. Place your foot flat on a piece of paper (wearing the socks or tights you’ll dance in).
  2. Mark the tip of your longest toe and the back of your heel.
  3. Measure the distance between the two points in centimetres.
  4. Compare your measurement to the size chart below.

Fit Tips 

  • Between sizes? Order the smaller size for a snug, performance fit, or the larger size for a more comfortable fit.
  • Leather ballet shoes will soften and mould to the foot with wear.
  • A snug fit is recommended for exams and performances.

Width & Foot Shape

  • Designed for a regular width foot.
  • Dancers with wider feet or higher insteps may prefer to size up.
  • Narrow feet may prefer to size down.

Fit Tips for Girls

  • Ballet shoes should fit snug with no growing room to support correct technique and safety.
  • If your child’s foot measurement falls between two sizes, choose:
    • the smaller size for exams and performances
    • the larger size for comfort in regular classes
  • This style comes in B (narrow) and C (medium) widths. Width refers to the measurement across the foot, not the length.
  • Leather will soften slightly with wear but should feel secure on first try.

Measure your foot from the heel to the tip of the longest toe and use the Inner Sole Length (CM) to choose the correct Dance Direct ballet shoe size. Sizes may differ from other brands.
