Character shoes Black Canvas Character Shoe with 1.5 inch heel. Lightweight high quality canvas character shoes for character dance. Flesh coloured elastic strap and snap button fastening. Size Guide NOTE: SHOE MEASUREMENT is the inside length of the shoe. Please measure a pair of shoes that fits you well and match to the measurements. You must CHECK YOUR CHILD’S FOOT LENGTH prior to selecting the shoe size. Please check our size charts below and also remember to measure your child’s feet from back of heel to end of the longest toe then add 0.5 – 1cm for wriggle room, depending how snug you would like the fit of the shoe. The shoes are a medium width, so if your child has a wider than average foot then choose a larger size. Always choose a larger rather than smaller shoe.

Guides: Character shoe care Whether you’re performing or just having a lesson in your dance studio, it’s important that you look and feel your best. Your dance shoes are an integral component of your costume and affect how you look, feel and dance. Whether it’s ballet, pointe, jazz or tap, and whether the shoes are made from canvas, leather, polyurethane or satin can all make a big difference to how you care for your shoes and keep them looking clean and tidy. It’s not what you can see on the top either, as keeping the soles clean and preserved will keep the shoes working effectively for your dance routines.

We’ve been selling shoes online since 2008, and have operated a dancewear shop, so we’ve had loads of practice in helping families pick the right size of shoe. We can’t stress enough, that sizes vary a lot between different brands and your size in X brand, will not always match the same size in another brand. Don’t base your sizing off a brand you’ve tried before and don’t assume your ballet or jazz shoe will be the same size as your street or school shoes. Note also that our sizes are based on AU sizes. Ballet and jazz shoes are sometimes called slippers and this is because they are a soft shoe and should ideally be worn as a snug fit.
