Always find the right size

How should dance shoes fit? 

Compact but not tight!


Dance shoes should fit snugly without pinching, as the nappa or suede leather gives way when dancing. As a rule, our dance shoes are slightly larger than regular street shoes. The size chart below already takes this into account and gives you information about the conversion of UK sizes into EU sizes and US sizes.

For example, we generally recommend choosing a size UK 7½ shoe for size EU 42 or a size UK 9 for size EU 44. However, you should not start from your shoe size in trainers, but rather in business shoes. For men with wide feet we recommend our extra wide dance shoes. The table below also applies to these models.

Exceptions

... confirm the rule 

As always, exceptions prove the rule. As our shoes vary depending on the last, you will find further information on the last and whether the last is normal, larger or smaller in the product description under "Fit". This information is also summarised in the table below. For example, if you would like to order a shoe that is made on the Glacier last and your shoe size is EU 44, which corresponds to a UK 9 according to the table above, you would have to subtract half a size for the Glacier last. You would therefore need to order a size 8 ½.
