18 customers mention12 positive6 negative

Customers are mixed about the elasticity of the slipper. Some mention that the elastic is prestiched, which is great for them. The strap is a thick elastic, and the elastic cross piece means they do not have to sow on. They like the elastic tie for tightening the tops if needed. However, some customers say that the fabric is nice, but the elastic doesn't fit properly and scratches their feet. They also wish they had a drawstring elastic rather than the flat elastic.

"...So far I'm pleased with their performance. The elastic strap across the ankle and the drawstring around the top of the slipper keep them securely on..." Read more

"...They are well made. I do wish they had a drawstring elastic rather than the flat elastic to adjust better to the foot...." Read more

16 customers mention4 positive12 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the seam of the shoes. They mention that the material gapes on both sides in the middle, making gaps at the instep. They also wear holes through them, the stitching on the sole has given out, and the toe came all unsewn in two weeks.

"...They gap the slightest bit on one foot, and where the elastic was sewn in it irritates my foot on one side due to the stitching, so I put a little..." Read more

"...One thing about the packaging. The shoebox was torn in pieces. Fortunately the slippers were fine." Read more

"...Interior fabric is also smooth against the foot, seams are smooth too and constructed well...." Read more

"The price was right was the Material gaped on both sides in the middle and just from having them on my feet for a minute it hurt my toes on each side..." Read more

Great ballet slippers

Reviewed in the United States on April 29, 2024

Size: 7.5 WideColor: PinkVerified Purchase

I decided to get a pair of ballet slippers because I wanted to do some basic ballet moves for exercise around the house on rainy days. I haven't worn ballet slippers since I took ballet when I was young (1980's). They fit true to size and once they are tied they fit great. They are comfy enough to wear around the house as well. Great product for adults that are in ballet classes or doing ballet/barre exercise programs.

Narrow ballet slippers

Size: 7.5 X-NarrowColor: PinkVerified Purchase

My foot is very narrow so most shoes just don’t fit. You can make these tighter by adjusting the ties on the top. They are still a little wide for me. They are well made and a very pretty ballet pink.

We love these shoes and have been buying them for about 5 years. They’re durable and comfortable. They run slightly large but can be adjusted with the drawstring around the top. They also wipe off well.

Great product, Excellent customer service

Size: 4.5 WideColor: PinkVerified Purchase

I’ve never worn ballet slippers before and wanted a pair to wear for local dance group. I bought a size 4 regular, it was too small. Returned and bought 4 wide. Still too small. Returned and bought 4.5 wide. Fits perfect. Easy exchange, no hassle, no questions, no problems. These are soft and pliable, nice quality, some adjustment available with front ties. Very good quality slippers for the cost. I was very pleased at the ease of exchange and opportunities to try until I was able to find my correct size. I wear size 6 shoe, and the 4.5 wide slipper fits perfectly. Great customer service. Great product. I would recommend these dance slippers!!’

Love this shoe. Fits large and wide.

Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2023

Size: 3.5 NarrowColor: PinkVerified Purchase

I wear US women size 6 or EU 36 in 90% of street shoes. Always medium width. I got my first pair of these shoes in a size 4C (medium). They fit snugly when I first tried them on, but after 4 months of adult beginner ballet (twice a week), they started to feel very loose. I can still wear them, but they would sometimes bug me during center. Also, I had to pull the elastic so tight, that they would dig into my heels without socks on.
I just sized down to a size 3.5B (narrow), and they fit much better. Mind you, I do not have narrow feet, so these fit very wide. I’m wondering if I should size down to a 3B just in case they become too loose after some wear, but as the size 3.5B is on sale right now for $8, I will keep them and reassess after a few months.

In comparison, I wear sizes 3.5C in the Bloch Performa, 5.5B in the Bloch Synchrony (tho this shoe just doesn’t fit right for me), and 7 medium in the Capezio Juliet.

Aside from the sizing, I’m a big fan of these, and their are my leather full sole shoes of choice. I have also tried the Capezio Daisy, but these shoes mold much better to my feet.

TL;DR: Amazing shoes. Size down 2.5 sizes from your street shoes (for women) and consider narrow sizes even if you have medium-width feet.

Be sure to check size chart before ordering!

Size: 6.5 X-WideColor: PinkVerified Purchase

During the pandemic I got a pair of Capezio Daisy shoes in size 8.5 to use for Zumba online classes which I was doing on the laminate floor of my kitchen. Since the in-person classes have started up again at my local gym with a wood floor, I continued to wear the Capezio shoes there. After 3 years I felt it was time to get a new pair of shoes and decided to try these. My street shoes are size 8.5 (ladies') and I ordered 2 sizes down to 6.5 as the chart and other commenters said. They are still a bit big and I think a size 6 would have been better. The elastic is already stitched on but it feels too tight for me. I may need to cut the elastic and use the Bloch covert elastic instead which I find more comfortable. Quality of the materials used seems better than my Capezios. I plan to keep these but get a size 6 next time.
Edit: (a few days later) I decided to return the sz 6.5 after all and get the sz.6. They came quickly and I am changing my rating to 5 stars. They fit perfectly now. Elastic ankle strap is still tight but easily fixable.

Not white

Reviewed in the United States on March 22, 2024

Size: 6.5Color: WhiteVerified Purchase

First off the quality of the leather is there, however if you need a true white they are not white. They are more of a soft putty color. They are definitely larger than anticipated. All in all, if you can get the right size and don't need a true white, they are a good quality.

Fit well, got on a good discount

Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2023

Size: 4Color: PinkVerified Purchase

I should start by saying I’m not a ballerina. I just have sensory issues that make it hard for me to walk around the house barefoot sometimes. Slippers get so dirty, especially the fuzzy ones, but I’ve found that these ballet shoes are perfect for my purposes. The fit was great, exactly as expected and the material is nice and sturdy. I’m not a dancer though, so I’m not sure if they would suit for hardcore ballerinas.
