Position:Home>Dancing> Ballet Shoes (again)?Question: Ballet Shoes (again)!? Okay!. Ive been reading up on ballet shoes cos i need a pair and ive read that you at least need a shoe that is 1 and a half sizes larger!?
is this true!? if so, if im a 6 in normal street shoes, would that mean in looking for a size 7!.5-8!? xxxxWww@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: actually no!. you want your ballet shoes to be tight!. because when yo ustand on your toes, your foot sinks down and if theyre the same size or bigger than your street shoes, there will be a lot of extra room at your heels!. honestly, you do need to get a professional to fit them for you, at least your first time!. there is one especially good place!. its called the rosin box and its in philladelphia, pennsylvania but idk where you live!. so thats where i got my first pair!. and then i order the next pair online at discountdancesupply!.com !. if your shoes are too tight or you broke the box or shank (like cracked it)!. you need to go get fitted again for a new size or tougness!. but no matter what, every other pair you should get fitted again!. new shoes come out and your feet change!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Your best bet would be to go to a store where they can fit you personally so you don't have to worry about shoes that won't fit you properly!. In fact, thats what I'd highly recommend seeing as shoes that don't fit right can cause you some serious problems!.Www@QuestionHome@Com Even flat shoes should also be tight, not just pointe shoes!. If they're too loose, your arch will not show!. However, make sure they aren't too tight either!. Hope that helps!. :] And good luck with ballet!Www@QuestionHome@Com It depends on the brand really!. You shouldn't order out of a catalog whatever you do, unless it's for clothes!.
