  • Best ballet shoes!!!
Size: 8 Narrow Color: Sand
I am a competitive dancer taking 3 ballet classes every week and these are my favorite ballet shoes ever!! It is very soft and very comfortable and makes your feet look amazing. It is perfect for dance floors and even on carpet!! The fit is very nice and I love the stretchy elastics around the arch instead of the ones with strings that you have to tie. One thing about this product, these shoes run larger than expected. I got them a size smaller than my street shoe size so make sure to order many sizes and try them out!! But these shoes will not slip off your feet and improved my turns a LOT! It has cushioning on the bottom and supports your feet very nicely. I was wearing these shoes while writing this review but it felt so comfortable, they're almost like supportive socks!!! So if you want good ballet shoes, get these NOW!!! ... show more

  • Got a 6wide for my EU39, perf fit, conforms well to foot
Size: 6 Wide Color: Sand
I ordered 4 diff ballet slippers to try on (2 Stella's and another Bloch), and this one fit the best: material was soft but sturdy, canvas wasn't too thick, when foot points, the material doesn't bunch out, it bends with the foot. The slit padding did have a slightly slidy traction, but still grippy enough not slide around. I have a slight bunion on one foot so I wanted to find a slipper that didn't feel like it was making it worse. This had good shape with some space for my toes, but wasn't too much excess fabric. SIZE: I went according to the size chart picture they had above the product description. I measured about 9.4" long, so about 38-39 EU size, then according to that EU size on their size chart picture, I went with EU 39, which was a 6 for Bloch. 6wide is good for me (bc bunion). I'll keep this one and return the others. ... show more

  • Comfortable, beautiful fit, but tight elastics
Size: 4 Color: Sand
These are my favorite ballet slippers. They're super comfortable, especially the heel and toe pads. They're nicely padded but don't interfere with turning. I don't even feel them under feet. I wear a size 6B street shoe, slightly wide foot, and the 4B fits perfectly. My only complaint is that the elastics are way too tight. I have to remove them and sew on new ones. That's worth it to me because these are the best shoes for me. Just know that if you have a high arch, the elastics may be too tight for you. I wish they didn't come pre-sewn! ... show more

  • Great shoe, read sizing/fit tips!
Size: 6 Wide Color: Theatrical Pink
I like this shoe a lot. No round elastic channel makes them a bit more comfortable but they feel more traditional than shoes with very elastic panels etc. They look polished and nice. I’m not a huge fan of the fact that the ankle elastic is pre-sewn BUT it hasn’t caused me any pain and I don’t feel a need to rip out the sturdy machine seam to move the elastic only slightly. Okay so fit. I wear a 7 women’s shoe. Since gaining some weight, by high arch foot has been uncomfortable in many shoes and I often size up to an 8 or even an 8.5 just to have less pressure over the top of my foot even if the 8 is too long. I have always found ballet shoes in the equivalent of a 7 a little bit restrictive for spreading my toes. I have tapered greek toes (Morton’s toe), and the ball of my foot is the widest part of my foot. So, wide greek feet. I often feel like I’m either on my big toe only or on my other toes only on relève. I sized up to a 6 instead of a 5 in these because my toes need a lot of room to work! The sizing up may have also saved me from having issues with the pre-sewn elastic given my fat feet. The elastic is just very slightly tighter than I would have sewn it myself. The “canvas” stretches most perpendicular to the lines in the fabric, so diagonally across the top of the foot. I attached a picture showing the fabric for clarity. This material stretches just a little bit in all directions but is not at all some totally stretchy spandex or something. It still feels mostly rigid, but is softer and thinner than many canvas shoes I have had, so I expect they will be a little less durable. The diagonal stretch of the fabric is perfect for giving my toes room to spread. The pleats are not bothersome at all with this thinner fabric. The leather pad on the ball of the foot feels a little farther back than in my Sanshas and Capezios, but this could be because I sized up. In any case, it is in a perfectly fine place. I really like these shoes and find them a nice change from really rigid canvas without feeling or looking like a hybrid shoe. The elastic around the top is more comfortable than raw string elastic as less obviously different than other types. If you want a more modern shoe without a modern look (or if your teacher abhors a hybrid shoe look!) these might be a good buy for you. I find them mostly flattering, although the pre-sewn elastic is a drawback to look and feel. Would be 5 stars if the elastic was not pre-sewn, or even if it had an inch of extra so it could be let out and sewn longer. ... show more

  • Comfortable
Size: 4.5 Narrow Color: Sand
I’m a street-size 6 (6.5 in boots & athletic shoes), my left foot is about a quarter size larger than my right foot. My feet are on the narrower side, and my toes are “Greek”. I bought multiple sizes to compare in preparation for an adult beginner ballet class. 4C: Comfortable width, but too tight in toes 4.5B (pictured): Slightly snug in toes of left foot, but otherwise comfortable. Elastic is noticeably snug without being uncomfortable. I’m keeping these because I don’t have time to order another size before my first class, but I will probably end up trying a 5. Also tried Pro Elastic 4C & 4.5B. Both were too tight in the toes with no stretch, but I prefer the smooth elastic used for the straps over the ribbed elastic used in the Performas. ... show more

  • Exactly what I was needing
Size: 5.5 Narrow Color: Sand
These shoes are great quality. As suggested by others, size down. I’m a 7.5 in Nike and ordered the 5.5 and they are perfect. The presewn elastic is actually a perfect fit.

  • Great ballet slipper
Size: 5 Wide Color: Theatrical Pink
My daughter has been doing ballet for about five years now she’s always gotten the leather slippers. This is the first time she’s gotten this material and actually everyone in her class is switching over to it. It’s a lot softer and stretches better. They are also a lot more comfortable and it looks great on the foot. I could not be happier with my purchase. ... show more

  • A good buy
Size: 6.5 Color: Cocoa
I’m a solid size 8 and got a 6.5. Length-wise it fits almost too perfectly, I think a 7 would have worked too. I find the straps a bit tight but not sure if that because I should have gotten 6.5wide instead or I just need to get used to this type of shoe. Overall I recommend :)
