CHILDRENS BALLET SHOES

THERE ARE MANY TYPES OF BALLET SHOES AVAILABLE FOR CHILDREN

I HOPE THIS GUIDE WILL BE HELPFUL.

PLAYWEAR/ DRESSING-UP: THE ONLY THING YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT IS SIZE. MOST E-BAYERS SELLING BALLET SHOES SHOULD BE ABLE TOADVISE YOU - REMEMBER TO LET THEM KNOW THAT THEY ARE FOR DRESSING UP, YOU CAN THEN ALLOW FOR A SIZE BIGGER FOR GROWING ROOM.

CLASS WEAR : ONLY ALLOW FOR A HALF SIZE GROWING ROOM AT THE MOST. THIS ENABLES THE TEACHER TO SEE IF THE CHILD IS STRETCHING THEIR FOOT PROPERLY. nb PLEASE CHECK WITH YOUR CHILD'S TEACHER BEFORE PURCHASING - DO THEY PREFER SATIN OR LEATHER? - IS CANVAS ALLOWED?

Although it has become popular for children to wear SPLIT-SOLE in class, some teachers will not allow them to be worn. It is inadvisable to wear split-sole for class work as the arch of the foot is not excersised in the same way, so they do not help with strengthening the feet.

EXAMS : SHOES SHOULD FIT LIKE A GLOVE AGAIN CHECK WITH THE TEACHER IF THEY PREFER SATIN OR LEATHER? NOT USUALLY SPLIT-SOLE.
