Sizing

Ballet Shoes:

For ease of fitting Dance First ballet shoes are sized in centimetres (e.g. Size 23.5 = 23.5cm) and are available in narrow and medium widths. Shoe sizes range from 14 to 27cm.

Sizes relate to the length of the foot, from the back of the heal to the front of the toes. To determine the correct shoe size place the back of the heal against a wall and measure from the wall to the tip of the longest toe. For growing feet add 2cm. Ballet shoes should be a firm fit for mature students and for performance, so for older students it is advisable to buy shoes in a size that equals the foot length or is slightly longer (i.e. add 1cm)
