I use these for Pilates and they're perfect. I wear a size 10 medium in shoes, and got the 8 medium. Ideal fit for my purposes. And as usual, Zappos went above and beyond with customer service in tracking and quickly replacing my order when the first shipment was waylayed by the shipper. Wonderful shoe, outstanding customer service.

Pink Ballet shoes for a 50+ year old! The shoes are perfect for me getting back into the dance mode. Ordering 2 sizes smaller than my regular shoe size worked best for me. The shoes are very comfortable and appear to be well made. I prefer the full sole as they feel better under the foot more natural.

I couldn't find any decent ballet shoes for my beginner daughter in big kid sizes (she is 7yo and wears a size 3). I decided to try the woman's sizes and these came in a 3. I didn't order down and I'm glad because the 3 was a perfect fit. The quality is great and so is the price. I am one happy ballet momma!

Very comfortable. Order two sizes down. I normally wear a 9 but ordered a 7. Fit perfectly.

These shoes were exactly what my daughter needed. They were comfortably and supported her the arch in her feet.

One full size smaller than normal, provided a perfect fit. They arrived in one business day, just in time for a dance recital. Am ordering another pair. Very comfortable!

I usually wear a 6.5, and I ordered these in a 5B. The shoe fit extremely well, but the leather sole was a little short, so it came to mid-heel. I also ordered these in black in a size 5.5B, and they were absolutely perfect. With the elastic laces, they were adjustable to provide a snug fit for bellydancing. I'm ordering another pair for tai chi. As for rating the sizing, it's hard as you also have to consider the manufacturer's recommendations. For me, 1 full size smaller than normal was perfect.

I purchased these for my 11 year old daughter. She is between sizes so I wasn't sure what to order. I ordered a couple sizes to make sure we got the right fit. As always, Zappos made the process easy and convenient with their return policy and my daughter is thrilled with her shoes. I order from Zappos regularly and love their service.

These shoes are wonderful for house or dancing. I wear a size 9 shoe and ordered size 7 and could have used a 7 1/2. My feet and ankles swell late in the day and a 7 1/2 would have been the best choice for me. The quality is excellent. I do some hard dancing on Saturday nights. I needed a shoe with a leather sole that would slide and couldn't find anything! These are perfect.

Good basic dance shoe. For best fit order 3 sizes down from regular shoe size.

Serves my purpose - I'm wearing these shoes for my wedding - I'm taller than my fiancé and didn't want to add any height, plus I wanted something comfortable. These ballet slippers fit the bill. My only complaint is that they are pretty wide around the top - I had to really tighten up the drawstrings to make them fit. I wouldn't be able to wear them for serious dancing due to that issue, but they'll be fine for the wedding.

Much better fit for long narrow feet than other brands - I hadn't danced in 25+ years and wanted something simple for myself after my daughter began ballet classes. Size down 2.5 to 3 sizes from your dress shoe size. I am a 10 or 10.5 narrow and got these in 7.5 and 8 narrow to try both. I ended up keeping both--the smaller, snugger pair are best for dancing, but I use the slightly looser pair for yoga and pilates.

I followed the advice on sizing and ordered two sizes smaller. The fit was perfect. I ordered the slippers for an adult ballet class and I am very happy with my purchase.

Comfy Shoe - I found the recommendation to order 3 sizes smaller to be true -- I was skeptical and only went down 2 and they're a little big. Plus, they are leather, they will stretch a bit.

Feel like a kid again! I purchased these to wear around the house and I think they're great! I could have ordered a size smaller than I did, so if you're on the fence, go a size down.

Dancing - I had a really hard time trying to find a dance shoe with an E width. I bought a couple and this Bloch was the only brand that came close to fitting. It is still a little tight where the stitching is, but overall, I am very pleased. I would recommend this brand to anyone. Now, if I could just fine jazz shoes in an E width, I would be in heaven.
