MEASURE YOUR SHOE SIZE

The following table gives you a guide to buying dance shoes on line.  The foot measurement in cm is the length of the foot (this is also the Japanese system).  This is particularly useful for children’s feet, where we find that some very popular brands of street shoes are sized differently.  The size guidance we offer is based on a standard uk size, as outlined below.

So if you buy online and you aren’t sure of the size required, measure the feet first and work out the standard UK size and then follow our guidance on the conversion for each item:

We warn you that dance shoe sizes in particular are completely dependant on the manufacturer, so don’t rely on stated US or UK sizes.
