Sizing
Finding the perfect fit requires factoring in the width and thickness of the foot, the instep, and the dancer’s personal preference of fit. On first fit, Dance Paws® should feel tight. They will stretch to their final fit in four to six hours of wear. The charts below will give a snug fit after stretching.

Fitting on your own
Stand with your full weight on a piece of paper and draw lines at the widest part of your foot, as shown here. Find your size in the first table below.
Consider the thickness of your foot. If you have thick feet and are close to the next size, order one size larger. Young children may be more comfortable in one size larger.
