Ballet shoe fit - toddler
Went to a studio to look for ballet shoes. The salesperson brought out a pair without any measuring or asking shoe size. Put them on and declared they were perfect. There was more than an inch room at the toe. They were 3 full sizes larger than DD's sneakers (which already have room) if that matters. Idk how dance shoe sizes work, which is why I was going to a studio...
Anyway, I didn't like the price and didn't trust the fit, so I am going to payless probably. Aren't ballet shoes supposed to be closer to the size of the foot?

I got dds at Payless. I had to size up a full size. She measures a 7 but had to buy an 8. They fit her foot snugly. Her regular size I couldn't even get on her foot.

I would think they shouldn't be too big, because you don't want your DD to be tripping over them as she's dancing. I got canvas ballet shoes for my dd. They're easier to adjust to the size of the foot with a little drawstring that gathers or lets out the fabric to get a good fit. I ordered them on eBay, and I think I've seen them at payless too.

Re: Ballet shoe fit - toddler
I teach dance and find that dance shoes never run true to street shoe sizing. Ballet slippers shouldn't have a ton of room up front, but you do want a little extra since kids feet grown so fast. If you can fold up the front end of her shoe, then they're too big.

My dd wears a 7 street shoe, and her ballet shoe is 11. The instructor tried the size smaller, which was a tight fit.

DD wears a size 7 shoe and her ballet slippers are a size 9. There is a little room for growth. The size smaller would be just the right fit and would have to get another pair half way through the year.

I did the same thing. DD is usually a size 8 but needed a size 10 in Payless.

They run small especially the payless ones. My dd wears a size 9 and I had to get a 10 1/2.

Payless is funny with their dance shoe sizes... Their ballet shoes are small and tap shoes are big. I have the same brand for both and dds ballet are snug at a 7.5 but Tap she has room to grow in a 7. Annoying. So I always have to go to the store to try on. I find capezio's are true to size for her but just really narrow so we go for the wide.

Encore in Hicksville sells ballet shoes, tutus etc, and they are very good.
I know you asked about payless, but.
