Size Chart

General Sizing
Dance shoes are generally worn snugger than street shoes. They must fit snugly, but without pinching, to maintain balance on the dance floor. The shoes will stretch so they must start out tighter than they will normally be worn. However, the shoes should not hurt. Glove snug is the goal. Please try to consider if the fit is uncomfortable, or just different from a street shoe.  All of our shoes are American sizes. 

Closed Toe Fitting
In closed-toe styles (women's and men's) the toes should be as close to the end of the shoe as comfortable, without crunching your toes. Generally, when ordering closed-toe shoes, order your street shoe size

Open Toe Fitting
In open-toe shoes the sole should be completely covered by your feet; some dancers prefer their toes go over the sole by up to 1/4 inch. This is subject to wearer preference; some ladies are very uncomfortable with coming to or over the end of the sole. We suggest going as short as is comfortable for you.  Generally, when ordering open toe sandals, order 1/2 a size smaller than your street shoe size.
