Some individuals may experience confusion if they have never danced before. Prepared ballet dancers should just utilise pointe shoes. Therefore, ensure that you are looking at the correct style before making a purchase. You can ask your instructor to confirm the sizing.
Sizing

You can also order your shoes online, but be sure to check the sizing charts to ensure you are getting the correct size. Many resources will explain how to measure sizes based on your street shoe size.
Some will be a similar size as your road shoe measure, while others will instruct you to arrange a half-size littler and such. Likewise, know about any discount or trade arrangements when you buy, regardless of whether you buy on the web or locally. If they deviate in any way, you should have the opportunity to return them.
