Unfortunately, each company has a slightly different sizing, differing sometimes even by a few mm. Usually with dance shoes, we choose the size we wear everyday or a smaller size (especially if we are between sizes, we wear “halves”). When measuring shoes with a heel, check that there is no space left between the heel and the heel of the shoe. If you decide on a model with an open back, it is worth trying on a smaller size as well. The foot looks very messy when we still have 1-2mm of shoe sticking out behind the heel. Moreover, in such situation, the heel will not be positioned under the heel and we will have the impression that it is running backwards all the time. Also pay attention that the front of the shoe is not too wide. The dance shoe should be fitted and even slightly tight at first.
