how to measure

finding your shoe size takes just 3 steps.

  1. Stand with one bare foot on a piece of paper.
  2. Mark the paper at the back of your heel bone & at the end of your longest toe.
  3. Measure the distance between these two points in a straight line, & repeat the same steps for the other foot.

If one foot is longer, use the larger measurement to find your shoe size by referencing the size chart above. If your measurement is in between sizes & the shoes don’t come in half sizes, please round up to the next size.

Remember, this chart can only approximate your true shoe size. Finding a shoe that fits also depends on brand, style and individual. To find the best fit, we recommend visiting a Target store to try on different shoe sizes & styles.

Summary of reviews

These ballet shoes are a popular choice for young dancers, offering a soft and comfortable fit that many children love. They are praised for their quality and affordability, making them a great option for beginners. However, guests frequently mention that the sizing runs small, often requiring one or two sizes up for a proper fit. The adjustable drawstring is a helpful feature for achieving a snug fit, especially for narrow feet.

    I've always been told by dance instructors to size up with dance shoes, also the tie in front is looped all the way around the Slipper, so you just have to pull it tight and relace it as a bow again. It's really not that hard people.

    Quality seems great but the size makes no sense. Ordered 11 in Cat and Jack shoe which fits and 11 in the ballet slipper which is much shorter!

    Amelia - 3 months ago, Verified purchaser
    They do the job, the only thing I don’t like is the bows in the front come off easily and if you pull them it tightens, which if you have a skinny foot like my daughter is good, but if you try to stretch them out the strings won’t stretch out if that makes sense.

    Excellent shoe for dance beginners. Very soft. My 8 yr. Old loves them. She said they are very comfortable. However would be great if they came in half sizes. She takes a size 2 in sneakers and the ballet shoes size 2 were too big. The size 1 fits but barely.

    Good shoes for the price; very, very inconsistent sizing. I order online to save time vs shopping in store, but I always regret it with these shoes. I had hoped this time would be different, but this pair is one of the most oversized shoes we have received thus far. I continue to purchase this item due to the price and it is easier than finding another local option for dance shoes.

    Sadly, incredibly disappointed with these slippers. We’ve always gotten our ballet slippers from Target but they’ve never been like this. We love the crisscross option they had before, these Danskins with the single strap make the extra material around the foot bow out. It’s not functional and looks a little ridiculous. We will be returning.

    Took one star off because the sizing is so weird lol but glad I listened to the reviews. My 4 years old daughter is a size 8c and I ordered a 10. They fit perfect! I do agree with some reviewers that the elastic that goes over the top sits a little far back. Wish they would move it up like 1/2 inch or something.
