Question:I asked earlier if my son could wear his ballet slippers to and from class and promptly received a dozen "no" answers. I was wondering, could we get his socks and shoes on for dance at home and them have him slip on a pair of Crocs that's a little bigger than his shoe size to allow space for the ballet shoes? Or would that somehow dammage the ballet shoes? Thank-you!

A couple of my students who are 6-7 wear crocs over their ballet shoes. I don't have a problem with it because it saves a lot of time and parents don't have to come inside the studio to help their child put on their shoes.

It wouldn't ruin the ballet shoes and 3 year olds grow so fast that you will probably have to replace shoes quickly anyway.

I recommend that you do it. Its easier for you, your son and their teacher.

Hope this helps :)

He could as long as their is something protecting them,but i am a big believer in keeping them protected in a bag.

no that should be fine.. but it does depend on how far he has to walk. if its just say from the car into the studio its perfectly fine and should not damage the ballet shoes.

i guess he could. just as long as he doesnt get rocks or anything in his shoes that could hurt his ballet shoes, im sure that would be fine.

hes three years old! of course he can! my suggestion is to put socks over his slippers, just so anything doesnt get on them, because they are expensive and high quality. As long as hes not using them as street shoes its ok! hes not a professional yet- theres nothing wrong with that! go ahead, put on the crocs and socks

If the crocs are over used then you dont want him to do that. But i dont think there's any harm in it if the crocs are only around the house shoes and to get him to dance classes.

That would totally be fine. The crocs won't tear up the canvas or leather of the shoe, and he won't trail dirt into the studio. Plus, kudos, you realize (unlike girls at my studio that try to squish their slippered feet in their tennis shoes) that the crocs actually need to be able to accommodate for the shoes.

Yeah, it should totally be great.

probobly but only if hes protected with somehting on top. if not his shoes and his feet will get hurt if he steps on a tiny pebble.

of course!

Yes it is fine, i mean he is three so i am sorry to tell you his feet are probably going to grow out of the shoes faster than he can reck them. as long as the bottom of the shoe is covered, that should be great!!!



Hope this helps!

If thats the easiest and afstes way to get him dressed for class, go for it! As long as he isnt on sidewalk with them, tis fine, and you wont have to do the "rush and dress" when he gets to the studio!

Oh my God! Don't let your kid wear CROCS!! Want him to lose toes? In China 10 people lost their toes or parts of their feet because their CROCS got stuck in the escalator!!!! Don't let him wear CROCS unless of course you would want him to have 9 toes.
