How to choose the size of dancing shoes

When many people choose dancing shoes, they will choose a pair of dancing shoes that are well elastic and comfortable to wear on their feet. They usually buy the size that they usually wear when shopping. This is very wrong.

In the process of dancing, we need to press the instep. When the instep is pressed, the foot will shrink inward, so it feels like the shoe will become bigger. Instead, pick a shoe size down that will feel comfortable when you press the instep.

Everyone's feet are different, and dance shoes need to be very close to the feet. So we need to buy a size down. The first two times it feels a bit uncomfortable, but the third time the shoes are stretched and just fit.
