People that are giving bad reviews about they don't fit are not paying attention at all to this size guide. I hope this helps with the confusion and bad reviews people are giving over size."
"The sizing is tricky so I looked at the size chart and read reviews."
"I dance tango 3-4 times a week for 2-3 hours and they seem to be good for tango-leaders,but softer that I need and wider that I expected."
"The shoe is very comfortable, like a slipper except the front part of the heal."
"I wear a 9 1/2 street shoe, and buy the Salsette in a size 12."
"Perfect for my daughter's hip hop dance class."
"I love the shoes."
"The quality is mediocre, and if you have any thickness to your feet beyond a sheet of paper or two, you will find them too small height-wise."
A full leather sole encourages secure stepping, while an elastic strap over the instep makes for a flexible fit. Ideal student ballet shoe with a full sole and elastic already attached over the instep.

Find Best Price at Amazon"A note on SIZING: Many dance shoe sizes do not correspond to street shoe sizes. So if you wear size 8 shoes normally, you will need size 6 in these ballet slippers."
"For my narrow feet, I needed 2 sizes down in the narrow still, but the draw string really helped fit my heels well unlike most shoes!"
"I ordered 2 sizes smaller and they fit quite well."
"Nice and comfortable Ballet slipper with reasonable price."
"Caution - it's always risky to purchase ballet slippers without trying them on."
"With that said, the size chart tells you what size to order based on your shoe size and they fit my daughter perfectly."
"I use this shoe to dance, and Amazon was a great place from which to order as I wasn't sure of my size or width. I wasn't happy with the fit of the Capezios (they gapped at the sides) even though the sole went all the way to the back of the heel."
"You need to size down on these."

This Capezio tap shoe is more rounded in the toe box and gives more wiggle room for toes that are more boxy or do not taper down drastically. The shoe is not gaping or too big, it just isn't cramped in the toes."
"These shoes are sized very small."
"She wears a 9 street shoe (recently measured at shoe store), and ordered the 10 based on Capezio's recommendation to order 1 size larger than street shoe (for this particular shoe)."
"These are darling, tiny little tap shoes, totally authentic, affordable and high quality."
"Bought this for my daughter when her dance shoe was no longer fitting her."
"These are beautiful, and seem like they will last a long time."
"The size 6 tap shoe was so narrow we couldn't even get her toes in."
"Not a good idea to buy a size up, tap shoes need to fit enough not to flop up and down."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I ordered both the Capezio Daisy 205 Ballet Shoe (Ballet Pink,10 N US Toddler) and the Bloch Dance Bunnyhop Slipper Ballet Flat (Pink,10 D US Toddler). The other reason that I like the Bunnyhops is that the elastic string can be pulled tight in the front, and it cinches up the rest of the shoe all the way around the ankle, for a tighter fit. The Capezios have an elastic string but it wasn't efficient in cinching up the shoe to make it smaller or tighter."
"When I pulled it out of the box the shoes seemed SOO TINY! I wouldnt say that she has a lot of room to grow into that much, but for less than $20 i dont mind."
"According to the Capezio manufacturer, their toddler/little kid ballet shoes are to be ordered one full size up from their current street shoe size."
"In comparison with size from two brands mentioned my daughter wears the same 6.5 size with both brands... shes 6.5 W with capezio and 6.5 C with bloch 5.5 with regular shoes."
"My 3.5 year old is just outgrowing her size 8 shoes, 9 fits really well and can wear a 10 but they are a bit large."
""The product fit" chart is relative to what size the customer is purchasing and the size their child actually wears at the time. Some people purchase a size bigger or purchase the actual size and choose from the fit chart "Somewhat large, small, fits as expected, etc" for others to reference."
"I ordered a 6 which is what my daughter is in now with a little room to grow and they were so tight I couldn’t barely get them on and once I did she was crying her toes hurt."
Best Women's Ballet & Dance Shoes
THE DANCESOCKS were created out of the need to safely twist and turn in sneakers while dancing. HELPFUL TIP: The DanceSocks are designed to be paired with regular tread sneakers so use as much of your sneaker sole as desired for traction. The DanceSocks will increase the range of motion of your sneakers so always test placement before dancing. For carpeted floors please search Amazon for “The DanceSocks for Carpeted Floors”. For carpeted floors search - “The DanceSocks for Carpeted Floors”.

Find Best Price at Amazon"1. I got mine on Amazon because they ship fast (http://www.amazon.com/THE-DANCESOCKS.../dp/B00FHB4LIE), but next time I'll try the maker's website (http://www.thedancesocks.com/) directly. The Zumba Carpet Gliders I tried worked pretty well on my big feet but are hard to get on and off. A classmate tried these and told me for her small feet that the "one size fits all" were too big and slipped off."
"I use the dance socks all the time for myself, and keep them handy for my students in my Zumba class."
"These made the side-to-side movement of Zumba much less taxing on my knees."
"I slip them over my shoes and I have NO trouble twisting and turning during Zumba."
"Have only tried the ones for smooth floors, but had much less stress on my knees and hips."
"I can't recommend these enough, and if you get a few pairs, you can have a backup in multiple places or make a friend very happy."
"I was "forced" to dance in a hip hop performance with my daughters group and struggled with turns and spins (for more reasons than my lack of coordination and age)!"
"They are the only shoes that doesn't cause me horrible arch pain."
