Only the best, from the best! About Pointe Shoe Sizing and Fitting We certainly never mean to sound self-righteous, but we have seen more than one promising dance career come to an abrupt end because the dancer either didn't know about or didn't believe the following advice.

All pointe shoes are sized differently, some are based on street shoe size and width, some are sized larger, some smaller. Even different models by the same manufacturer may have different sizing standards. There are dozens of size conversion charts available, some more accurate than others. Even our own pointe shoe size conversion chart, though one of the best, may not be right for your foot. It's very easy for the young ballet student to be injured by wearing an improperly fitted shoe, sometimes seriously enough to end her career. Please, if you are buying your first pair of pointe shoes, or you are changing size, brand, or model and are unsure of what you need, have a professional personally fit you. We recommend setting up a time to be fit with your dance teacher present. Her/his knowledge can be extremely helpful to the new pointe student. We can offer advice and guidance, but the wrong pointe shoe can end your dance career in just a few moments. Over the years we have fit pointe shoes on thousands of dancers, in nearly every brand and model available - we can help if you have concerns or questions about how to choose and fit the brand, size, or style of shoe that's right for you, but we CANNOT accurately fit pointe shoes over the phone.
Call us, we will be happy to help pointe you in the right direction!
