What size ballet shoe should I get for my child?

Ballet slippers run one or two sizes smaller than a regular shoe size, depending on the brand. You'll need to move up at least one size larger than your child's regular shoe size.

Is it okay to wear socks with ballet slippers?

You can wear thin socks with ballet slippers, just make sure the slippers fit snugly and are comfortable. Footed tights are also acceptable to wear with ballet slippers. A heavier sock would restrict movement, so stick with an acrylic or polyester blend.

What color ballet slipper should I buy my child?

If your child is taking lessons, the instructor will recommend the color. Ballet slippers are generally made in black, white, pink, and beige. If there's no specific color requirement, choose the color that you prefer. The idea of the ballet slipper is to match the skin tone or tight to give the appearance of barefoot dancing.
