My 8 year old daughter wears shoe size 3. What size of ballet shoes do I need to order for her? 1. Not sure what is asking for Size ofA,B,C,D,etc. Child "Star Split" Canvas Split-Sole Ballet Shoes??? 2. For Child Economy Leather Full Sole Ballet Shoes. How big is Child 1.5? Will that fit my daughter? very confused about what size to order. Thanks.
For a size 3 you will need to convert to an adult shoe. S0205L would be the adult equivalent of this shoe. Please follow the chart for converting to adult size and then you can follow the manufacturer recommended sizing which is 2 1/2 to 3 sizes smaller than street size. A, B, C, D indicate the width. A is most narrow, C is "average", and D is wide. - DDS Customer Service (10/18/2018)
My daughter wears a 9 toddler size, so I'm confused with how to convert and choose the right size for her first ballet shoes. Please help.
As a toddler size 9.0 you would actually not need to do the shoe conversion. That is for children that are growing out of the child sizes and are needing to switch into the adult equivalents. The recommended fit for the child size is to order either the same or 1/2 size larger than street shoe. This would mean that for your child the recommended fit would be a 9.0 or 9.5. - DDS Customer Service (09/04/2013)
I've found these run true to size, though the recommendation I got from my local dance store was to size up so that you get a bit more wear out of them - since they're pretty flexible and have elastic that works well. As a point of reference, my daughter generally wears a size 10.5 in toddler shoes, and I ordered size 11 and it fits perfect with just enough room to grow. - Austinmom (01/15/2014)
I followed the manufacturer's suggestion to buy a 1/2 size bigger but they are too big for my girls. I would suggest sticking with the size that your child is wearing in street size shoes. - Ditbean (07/10/2014)
My daughter wears a kids 3.5 shoe. If I convert this to an adult shoe, then I have an adult 5.5. Am I supposed to then subtract 2 or 3 sizes from that, bringing me back to the 3.5 or even a 3? I'm sorry, but I thought I understood this until I started seeing other Q&A. Thank you for your help.
You are very close! First you would convert her 3.5 to an adult 5.5 and you would want to be looking at style #S0205L (the adult version), not the #S0205G. You would then want to subtract 2.5-3 sizes leaving you with either an adult 2.5 or 3.0. - DDS Customer Service (06/19/2013)
I ordered a half a size larger than my daughters regular shoe size and they fit with a little bit of room, so they fit true to size. If your daughter wears a 3.5 shoe, I would order a size 4 and then she has a little wiggle room. - Kamicakes (10/02/2014)
What does the A, B, C, D mean? My child is 7 y/o and size 2.5, what is her estimated size in adult?
My daughter is a little taller than average age for 7 y/o therefore her feet needs one size bigger and she will be 8 in April with a growth spurt. I am new to this site but need help.
If she is a street size 2.5 child than she would be a 4.5 in adult. The adult version of this shoe would be style S0205L and the sizing guide states to order 2.5-3 sizes smaller. So in this case I would sugeest ordering a size 2.0 adult(2.5 sizes smaller than her street adult size 4.5) and the A, B, C and D are the width of shoe.
A- Extra narrow
B- Narrow
C- Medium
D- Wide width

I believe the A, B, C, & D are for if the child has a wide foot. C I believe is normal and D is wide, A may be for narrower ? - Bpdancemom (03/12/2014)
B, C, D, or E refer to the width with B being most narrow and E being very wide. I ordered C for my girls who do not wear narrow or wide in shoes - just regular sizes. It was fine once I tightened the shoes. - Ditbean (07/10/2014)
My daughter is a children's size 2. According to the sizing guide I should order a Child 2.5. That is not an option. When I go to the adult sized shoe and do the conversion I once again find myself in a size that is not covered. What are my options?
Suggestion would be to order the size 2.0 in the adult shoe. - DDS Customer Service (11/16/2012)
I found that they are the same size as shoe size. I would try a 2. - Militarymommy (06/15/2014)
