Sizing—How to Measure Your Foot

If you are not sure what size you need:

  1. Trace the dancer’s foot (bearing full weight) on paper, and measure the longest distance between heel and toe.
  2. Also measure across the widest part of the foot.
  3. Indicate current hard or soft-shoe size and brand (if any).
  4. Also indicate current street shoe size.
  5. Send us the numbers in the comments section when you check out. (You don’t have to send the tracing.)

What if they arrive and don’t fit?

If you follow the ordering directions and provide the required information, it is unlikely that your shoes will not fit properly. However, if you do provide all required information and the shoes do not fit, you may return them within 7 days for an exchange. You will need to pay for return shipping on the original pair; we will pay shipping on the replacement pair.
