How to choose your slipper size?
When choosing your slippers, your feet should be able to spread out in the slipper, and above all not be tense.
To check your shoe size, simply stand up and walk up on half-point and then down flat several times, to feel whether your toes are tense or spread out.
If you have thin feet, choose your usual size. If your feet are normal or wide, choose one size above your usual size.
Why bi-sole toe puffs?
Canvas bi-sole demi-pointes are suitable for intermediate and advanced dancers with a good command of classical technique. Thanks to the separation of the soles, they are more flexible at the arch of the foot, allowing the foot to roll smoothly. The extensibility of the bi-sole demi-pointe met enhances the lines of the foot and the instep.
Ask your dance teacher for a recommendation when buying ballet shoes.
Why stretch half-tips?
If you're looking for flexible half-tips that follow the shape of the foot, your choice will be for those in stretch canvas. This stretchy material ensures a smooth footroll and enhances the instep.
The bi-sole is made of leather to guarantee durability.
Why are there drawstrings?
We've listened to you:
Once again featured on this model, the drawstring allows you to adapt the width of the liner to the shape of your foot. Don't forget to tie and cut the drawstring once you've adjusted it. You'll then need to hide the end of the drawstring inside the liner each time you wear it. Tip: you can also fasten it to the inside underside of the vamp with plaster.
Are there different dance shoes for men and women, girls and boys?
Whether you're a child or an adult, it's important to choose ballet half-pointes adapted to your level. In general, beginners start out wearing half-point shoes with full soles, followed by half-point shoes with two soles. The distinction between girls/women and boys/men is made by the color of the demi-pointes. Pink and salmon-colored half-tips are recommended for dancers, and white and black half-tips for male dancers.
The little plus for carrying my slippers?
To store all your ballet accessories, you'll find an elegant black sequined pouch in your Decathlon dance department. With its two compartments, it's ideal for keeping your ballet shoes separate from other accessories such as your chignon kit, rosin and bandage.
