FAQs
Are these shoes suitable for pointe work?
No, these are full sole ballet shoes designed for foundational training and technique practice, not for pointe work.
How do I determine the correct size?
Refer to the UK sizing guide for children's footwear. It is recommended to measure the child's foot for accuracy, as ballet shoe fit can be snug.
Can I machine wash these ballet shoes?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the leather and the construction of the shoe.
How often should I condition the leather?
Conditioning frequency depends on usage and environment, but typically every few months or when the leather starts to feel dry is sufficient.
What is the main benefit of the full sole design?
The full sole provides maximum floor contact and stability, which is beneficial for beginners learning balance and proper foot alignment during foundational exercises.
Will the leather stretch over time?
Yes, genuine leather will naturally mold to the shape of the foot and stretch slightly with consistent wear, offering a more personalized fit.
Troubleshooting
Shoes feel tight or uncomfortable
Ensure the correct UK size has been selected. Leather will stretch slightly with wear, but a fundamentally incorrect size will not be comfortable. Wear with appropriate ballet socks or tights.
Leather appears dry or stiff
Apply a small amount of leather conditioner specifically designed for footwear. Follow the product instructions carefully and test on a small area first.
Scuff marks on the sole
Scuff marks on the sole are normal with use in a dance studio. For the upper leather, gently wipe with a damp cloth. Minor scuffs on the leather may diminish with wear and conditioning.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup: These shoes are ready to wear straight out of the box. Ensure the correct size is selected for optimal performance and comfort.
Compatibility: Suitable for indoor dance studio environments for ballet training and practice.
Care:
- Cleaning: Gently wipe the leather upper with a slightly damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid soaking the shoes.
- Drying: If the shoes become wet, allow them to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources. Stuffing them with paper can help maintain their shape.
- Conditioning: Periodically, consider using a leather conditioner suitable for ballet shoes to keep the material supple and prevent cracking. Always test conditioners on an inconspicuous area first.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place, ideally in a breathable shoe bag, to protect the leather and prevent deformation.
