Capezio Hanami Pirouette

I bought these for my daughter to replace the leather pairs she has been wearing. She found these to fit her much better and the width did not stretch out after multiple uses as the leather shoes have done. She is getting holes in both shoes where her toes are after only a few months, however, she dances in them 20 hours/week. She also does not take them off in between numbers at competition so she has them on for several hours at a time on those days. We will buy the same pair again and take them off more to preserve them for dancing. :)

I bought these shoes for my 9 yr old daughter for her lyrical dance class and her solo recital performance. She needed something that matched her skin tone and the Mocha color matches her medium brown skin perfectly. I originally purchased an X-Small because she wears a child size 3 in shoes regularly, but those purchased at first were much too small for her feet and did not fit at all. Customer service was prompt with helping us return them and friendly as well. We sent those x-small dance shoes back and bought a Medium pair and they fit very well. My daughter says that the medium Hanami Pirouette shoes are comfortable for her and she loves them! FYI, I measured her foot from toe to heel and it measured 8 and a half inches. She is tall, thin (wears a child medium 8/9 to large 9/10 in clothing) and has a narrow foot. The size chart on the website suggested X-Small for her but she definitely needed 2 sizes bigger than that recommendation. I think that a size chart that gives recommendations based on how many inches exactly the foot is may be better to implement on the website for customers because sometimes depending on the shoe brand, the right size number may be lower or higher and in this case it was higher.
