This is a pretty good shoe... I have not bought ballet shoes before so I did my research checking lots of reviews.. They felt great the first class I took, but they stretched out. As I am not an experienced ballet dancer it is difficult for me to speak to how the fit is but to me they feel good. My feet both feel supported and although the shoes have stretched some, they still feel great and I feel like I at least look like a dancer before I actually start to move.
Good ballet slipper for a beginner like me. Pleating is comfortable; however, the sole of the ball and heel are slightly padded and makes for a slightly uneven surface to balance on. Fit is perfect, definitely made for those with tapered toes. I wear a street 5.5 and the 5.5M were right on. Mesh makes arch not as defined as I would like (Grishko's canvas shoe gives a beautiful arch but it doesn't come in black!) Nice low profile. Good on marley floors, not too slippery or sticky - have not tested on wood yet.
Nice looking shoe. As a dancer I like canvas better than leather. Split sole ballet shoe, feels great and supports nicely. Nice for keeping clean. I toss them in the washer but not the dryer as I don't want them to shrink.

What width & size are you?
The general rule is that standard Men's width is D. For Women, the standard width is B. If most of the shoes you have purchased in the past have a comfortable width then go with the default.
If the shoes you are wearing feel overly wide, you should consider selecting a narrower width size. Shop For Narrow Shoes.
If the shoes you wear tend to feel narrow, then you should consider selecting a wider width size. Shop For Wide Shoes
If your feet seem "between" sizes and you cannot decide which size to select, we suggest you choose the larger size. You can make adjustments for a better fit with socks, insoles, or a different lacing pattern.
Try shoes on later in the day when your feet are at their largest.
Sizing Tips
The heel should not slip, the midfoot of the shoe under your arch and over the top of your foot should be snug but not tight; and you should have enough room in the toe area to wiggle your toes.
Women's feet often become a half-size (or more) larger after pregnancy.
Feet typically get bigger with age. People are more than twice as likely to buy a shoe that is too small than too big.
Boots are often worn with bulky socks, while sandals are hopefully not. Sizing may be affected with how much extra padding you have.
Heat makes your feet swell and cold may shrink them. Think about temperature when choosing sizes.
Fully utilize a the return policy by ordering multiple sizes, then keep what fits best and return the rest.
