best ballet shoes have split soles!
I used to dance - not professionally, just for the activity - and when I found split sole shoes, I never looked back. They made my arch prettier, they were more comfortable, and I just loved them. So when my 4 year old wanted to take ballet, I wondered if they made them tiny - they do! I got her a pair of 8.5C - a guess on sizing - and they fit perfectly for about 6 months, until she outgrew them. We got her next pair locally, and they don't carry split sole for kids, so she has the traditional style. Planning ahead, I picked up a 10.5C here for when she outgrows the current pair. These are good shoes, and they have held up well through three classes a week and a kid who is tough on shoes. They also come with the elastic sewn on, which is nice. Ready-to-wear.

Exactly what we needed & wanted!
These are the first split sole ballet shoes we've tried & they are great for my daughter's preschool ballet class. She wears a size 9 in street shoes & has narrow feet; I ordered a 10B & they fit perfectly, slightly snug for ballet dancing (which is recommended by her teachers). If you want room to grow though, I'd size up as hers will probably only fit for a few more months. These are also the perfect muted pink color & are pliable, not at all plastic-y like some other ballet shoes out there.

Great ballet slipper
Great ballet slippers! My four year old uses them every week for her ballet class, and they are easy for her to put on and take off. She says they are comfortable and easy to dance in, and so far they’ve held up beautifully. Her ballet school has a fairly strict traditional ballet uniform/dress code, and the shade of pink is perfect!

No problem with fit
My daughter usually wears a 9 in toddlers for sandals and a 10 toddlers for sneakers. The smallest size they had when I ordered was 10 toddler so I ordered them and hoped for the best. This is my daughters first ballet class, and I chose these because her teacher said leather and split sole were the best, and these seemed to have the best reviews for those two features in her size.The fit is perfect. They fit her just as I assume they should. She has about a half inch space up front so she has a little room for growth, but they are not loose and she said they were comfortable. She was really excited to wear them around the house for a few hours after they were delivered.The only thing I'm not sure about, and it could just be because I dont know any better or have experience but these have "pointy toes" and comes to a strong point. I always thought ballet shoes were more round in the toes? like I said, I dont know, this is my first time seeing/touching ballet shoes in person.They feel sturdy enough and all of the seams are strong and straight. They came in a bag kind of squished together, so you have to put them back in shape. not really that big of deal. they are soft and comfy.
