What size should I order?
A snug, performance fit is essential for control on the dance floor. Use these guidelines based on style and heel type.
Ladies Latin Sandals (Open Toe)
- Flare Heel (& Contour / Slim)
- Order one full size down from your usual street shoe size.
- Stiletto / SD Heel (2.5" / 3")
- Order half a size down from your usual street shoe size.
Ladies Ballroom Shoes (Closed Toe)
- Round Toe styles
- Order your usual street shoe size.
- Pointed Toe styles
- Order half a size down from your usual street shoe size.
Width fittings
We offer Regular, Wide and Narrow fittings across most styles. Width is adjusted through the upper and shaping of the last only — the sole width does not change.
- Wide: ~3mm wider around the upper than Regular.
- Narrow: ~3mm narrower around the upper than Regular.
Width guidance
- Narrow feet
- Try half a size down to achieve a narrower fit feel before ordering Made-to-Order.
- Wide feet
- Try half a size up to achieve a wider fit feel before ordering Made-to-Order.
Before ordering Made-to-Order
We strongly recommend trying a stock pair first to confirm your size and width before committing to a Made-to-Order (non-returnable) pair. If you're unsure, contact us and we'll be happy to advise.
Children's insole length measurements

Switch the conversion table above to Children's to see the Girls' and Boys' insole length tables (UK / EURO / USA / JAP / Inch / CM).
