A Little Help- Girls Ballet Shoes

[Paula]

Dani, are you talking about toe shoes or just soft ballet shoes? With the soft ones, size is similar to that of shoes. With toe shoes, it is different.

I have always bought Bloch shoes for Amelia. Hers are the same size as her shoes, but I always take her to be fitted, because they come in different widths. She has short fat feet, and at age 5 wears a C width in ballet shoes. These are the soft shoes.

I hate to say this, but with how kids' feet grow, we buy ours at Payless. This year we bought a size bigger than her feet and they are doing great. She loves them and of course, every other girl in her dance class has the same slippers. We also get her tap shoes from Payless (BOGO). . . Jazz Shoes on the other hand were from Academy

Wow! Thanks for all the info! I know I am just looking for little flat shoes- not pointe. Hmm I was hoping I could just wrap them up under the tree and have her be surprised... sounds like she may need to be involved though LOL. I will have to chat with her dance instructor- maybe I can have her sized on the sly... LOL!

Thanks again!
