You will want to get her some ballet shoes that are snug but so that she has room in them to grow and so they do not hurt her feet!. Look into Capezio or Bloch, they have some o f the best ballet slippers!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Each company has a different set of sizes, so it's basically impossible to tell you what size to get!. I am afraid you will have to try them on!. If your daughter is no longer growing, shoes should fit like a glove, with a minimal amount of extra room!. But, if she is young, be sure to leave room to grow!. I would put big heavy socks on my daughter to go try on shoes, then, as her feet grew, we adjusted the size of the socks!.
My opinion, split soled shoes are better, easier for students to develope their feet!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
