Shoes used for ballet are of variations, it is upon the trainers and the dancers to choose one of the kinds. But ever is chosen by the dancers it must be a snug fit. Any ballet shoe or slipper if ill-fitted could cause serious injury to the leg and the foot, which is why the ballet shoe size chart runs smaller than the regular shoe size chart. If an individual uses number 5 of the regular shoe size, then the ballet shoe would be either 3 or 2.5. No room for adjustment must exist in a ballet shoe. This is why a dancer must know just size and accurate fit, which makes them curious to know about the sizing or the measurement process.
How to Measure the Ballet Shoe Size?
Before beginning with the sizing process you must be determined of the type of show the color and the material of the shoe. If you need a slipper, a full sole, or the half sole, weather of leather or Canvas. After you have determined and selected the brand you are good to measure the size.
The best way to know the accurate size is to walk to the shop and ask the professional to suggest to you the shoes you could get for your measurement.
The second best way is to trace your feet’ size on paper. You need a basic plain white paper on which you need to stand on your feet keeping your leg perpendicularly. The size you got and the size of the broader area of your feet is the size of your ballet shoe.
And the third way is to know the size by using the regular size chart. If you wear number 7 on a regular shoe then you must go for 5, similarly, the dancers with the shoe size 6 must go for 4 and see the conversions on the ballet shoe size chart.
