We had to try several brands and sizes of ballet slippers to find something that fit my daughter who wears a size 11 shoe. The 8.5 in this slipper was just right. Thanks to Zappos free shipping both ways, fast delivery, and easy return process, we were able to get the right shoes without driving all over town.

I am a size eight and these sixes fit perfectly. Would recommend! But buy two sizes down.

I love these shoes. Wore them all day the first day and they didn't cause a blister, and stretched nicely. A little narrow at the toe, but decided not to return for bigger size. Glad I didn't.

Beautiful - These were on my door the next day. They do make my foot look beautiful. I read the reviews and went down 2.5 sizes, but my foot is narrow, and I might have done better with the 3 sizes down.

Love it - They are so comfortable, I wear a 9.5/10 I ordered an 8.5, still comfy but I could do a 9, I would recommend just going one size down. Great find!!!!

Very happy - I use these shoes for cha cha dance class practice. They hug the foot really well; they stayed on even without the elastics sewn in yet. Even though they have no "arch support" I do feel that the shoes hug the arch very comfortably, especially with the elastics in. I only needed to go down 2 sizes rather than the recommended 3. Then again, it was a C, or wide shoe. Very comfy.

Good ballet slipper - I had to order a half size larger than I needed, but these are still very good ballet slippers, especially for those of us with narrow feet! The canvas middle helps hug your foot. Follow sizing guidelines- ordering 3 sizes smaller than street shoe size.

Love - I love the Bloch Prolite II Hybrid. They are the only ballet shoe I will wear. Last year, I bought Capezio and ended up hating them and "losing" one. This year I bought Bloch. They’re way more comfortable and I love the canvas and leather. <3

Nice shoes - These shoes make my arches look fantastic. They are also extremely comfortable, but the heel feels a little loose. I needed a size 4B but they only had 4C, and they are true to size (that's why the heel is loose). The heel also felt a little thick on the bottom when I first got them but that will wear down with time. I love Bloch's jazz shoes and ballet flats. They hold up really well, feel like they were made for my feet, and don't fall apart easily. If you want them to fit like a glove, buy all your Bloch shoes 2 to 2.5 sizes smaller that your street shoes. I like this cut of ballet flats much better than the Bloch SO258L Economy Split that my old studio required. If you have a choice in shoes, it's worth paying a bit more for the Prolight II Hybrids. I just wish the elastic they come with came pre-sewn. I'm lazy.

Get 2 - 2.5 sizes down!! I originally got 3 sizes down as recommended but these were way too small my toes were all scrunched up! I got 2.5 sizes down, a very snug fit. Order 2 sizes down for some room, 2.5 sizes down if you want your shoes to fit like a glove. A pretty shoe with low sides that flattered my square flat feet and did not slip off my narrow heels.

True to size for boys - Great shoe. But your recommendation to go two full sizes down was a bit off in our case. I ordered the shoe for my son (Just try to find ballet shoes for a boy size 4!!!!) and the size 2 was too tight. We went with the 3 (we removed the elastic tie), but I think he would have gotten more wear from a 4 (his actual size).

Best ballet shoes ever! Shoes are 2 sizes smaller than my street shoes. This is my first year in split soles, and my mom wanted to try these new ones. I'm really glad we did!

fabulous - I just got these yesterday. They are just what I wanted. 2 1/2 sizes smaller fit perfect. They felt fabulous and no break in period. I bought them for my combat conditioning and they are just what I needed. I can still feel the floor and develop strength in my feet without getting dirt in between my toes. I said it felt a half size larger than marked bc it said to order 3 sizes down from your street shoe size and I only went 2 1/2 down bc of an earlier review.

Good Shoe - These shoes fit great. I took the advice of another post and ordered 2 1/2 sizes smaller rather than just 2 sizes and they fit wonderfully. I went to my first ballet class and I thought the shoes worked great.

Tai Chi girl - I really like this shoe for tai chi, but I have not used it for ballet. It is comfortable and really molds to the foot. One should probably order two sizes smaller, instead of three.
