Go Dance Ballet Pumps Size Guide
Finding the correct fit for dance shoes is essential for foot development, balance, and proper technique. Some dance shoes are manufactured in European or American sizing, which we convert directly into standard English (UK) sizing for our Irish customers.
Please Note: The size indicated on the shoe box may reflect the manufacturer’s original European or American sizing, but it represents the correct converted UK size you ordered[cite: 1, 2]. We recommend trying on both shoes to check the fit before use[cite: 1, 2].
Children’s Ballet Pump Sizing (Go Dance)
Children's ballet shoes should fit closely without pinching the toes. For growing feet, dance teachers generally recommend choosing one size larger than your child's standard street shoe size to allow the toes to lie flat and provide room for growth.
| UK Size | EUR Size | USA Size | Foot Length (CM) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 7 Child UK | 24 | 8s | 15.2 cm |
| 8 Child UK | 25 - 25.5 | 9s | 16.0 cm |
| 9 Child UK | 26.5 | 10s | 16.9 cm |
| 10 Child UK | 27.5 - 28 | 11s | 17.8 cm |
| 11 Child UK | 29 | 12s | 18.6 cm |
| 12 Child UK | 30 - 30.5 | 13s | 19.4 cm |
| 13 Child UK | 31.5 | 3s | 20.3 cm |
| 1 UK (Junior) | 32.5 - 33 | 3.5s | 21.1 cm |
Women’s Ballet Pump Sizing (Go Dance)
Adult ballet slippers are intended to fit like a second skin with minimal dead space at the toe, allowing the arch and pointe to articulate cleanly. If you prefer a slightly looser fit or wear thicker tights, consider ordering a half size or full size up from your usual street shoe.
| UK Size | EUR Size | USA Size | Foot Length (CM) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 UK | 34 | 5L | 22.0 cm |
| 3 UK | 35 - 35.5 | 6L | 22.9 cm |
| 4 UK | 36.5 | 7L | 23.7 cm |
| 5 UK | 37.5 - 38 | 8L | 24.5 cm |
| 6 UK | 39 | 9L | 25.3 cm |
| 7 UK | 40.5 | 10L | 26.2 cm |
| 8 UK | 41.5 | 11L | 27.0 cm |
| 9 UK | 43 | 12L | 27.9 cm |
How to Measure Your Foot at Home
- Place a sheet of blank paper on a hard floor against a flat wall.
- Stand barefoot (or wearing ballet tights) with your heel flat against the wall.
- Mark the furthest tip of your longest toe on the paper with a pencil held vertically.
- Measure the distance from the edge of the paper to the pencil mark in centimetres and compare it to the charts above.
