Best Ballet & Dance Shoes for Women of 2025

"I love these shoes! They’re incredibly soft and stretchy, making them super comfortable for my workouts. I ordered a size 3 based on the size chart since I usually wear a women’s size 5, and they fit snugly yet feel like a second skin. The split soles are perfect for turns, and they look great in person!"

"These shoes fit me perfectly! I’ve tried many brands, but they all squeezed my toes uncomfortably. With these shoes, I have the space for my toes while still achieving a snug fit. They feel like comfortable socks, and I appreciate the wider bottom canvas pads. I've received compliments in class and have seen others switch to Bloch after trying mine!"

"I purchased these for my daughter, who loves them! They are of great quality and fit her wide feet perfectly. Initially, we ordered a size up, and they turned out to be just right. They are a fantastic choice for her ballet class, and we received them two days earlier than expected!"

"Before purchasing, I thoroughly read the reviews, and I'm so glad I did! I usually wear a size 9 medium in street shoes, but I opted for a 6.5 narrow for a snug fit. Initially, they felt tight, but they molded to my feet and are now very comfortable. The only drawback is that the elastic strap digs in a bit due to my higher arch, so I've been wearing it tucked under my foot. The leather quality is fantastic—soft, smooth, and well-stitched. I bought these for exercising on my wooden floor, and they provide just the right amount of slide without slipping. Overall, they look great and enhance my ballet workouts!"

"This is my second time ordering these shoes for my daughter. She outgrew her first pair and I went straight for the next size up. We were very satisfied with the initial pair, so I didn't hesitate to order again. They are comfortable, provide excellent value, and are exactly what she needs for her ballet class. I used to love Bloch when I danced, and I'm thrilled to continue this tradition with my daughter!"

"Sizing was quite a challenge for these shoes. My daughter typically wears a size 2 in street shoes but, after following the size guide, I found the 1.5 to be tiny. After trying size 3, which was still too small, I finally settled on size 4. Although they fit in length, they appear a bit baggy elsewhere. However, since we need these for the Nutcracker, we’ll make do!"

"I finally found my new favorite ballet slipper ever! I've owned countless pairs, but these pretty ballet pink canvas ones are just perfect. The size is true, but they’re definitely wide in the toe box. I love how my turns felt solid immediately—no break-in period required. I also bought a tan pair, but I’m not keen on them due to some defective stitching. I'll be using them for outdoor performances, but the pink ones are ideal for class!"

"I ordered these shoes for my new ballet class and they do exactly what I need. The quality is good, and I recommend going half a size down since they’re meant to fit snugly. Overall, they’re great shoes!"

"I truly adore these slippers! They arrived in perfect condition and fit my usual size 6.5 perfectly. I couldn’t wait to try them on, and the color is just gorgeous. I’m thrilled with my purchase!"

"These shoes are incredibly comfortable for my girls. I found that the X-small size fits them perfectly. They feel like a second skin with no shifting or discomfort. We tried a different brand first, but it just wasn't worth it. These shoes had zero break-in time and worked great for practice and performances. I had to reorder due to some wear, but they're absolutely worth every penny!"

"For my daughter’s pom team, these shoes are a staple. They were recommended by her coach, and we keep coming back to them. While half sole shoes don’t last long, these have been holding up better than the canvas options."

"I needed these shoes for a recital and was amazed at how quickly they arrived. They lasted the entire four days without a hitch, which is impressive for me! They were a bit tight initially, but that's normal. I'm definitely satisfied with the quality!"

"I started adult ballet and needed ballet shoes quickly. I was hesitant to order online due to my tricky fit, but these Capezio ballet slippers arrived right on time. I ordered an 8.5 medium, and while they fit well, they are too wide at the ball and arch. I tightened the elastic strings, which helped a bit, but they are still a little loose at the arch. They are a tad tight in the toes, but I'm confident they'll loosen with wear. Overall, I'm pleased with my purchase and the quality of the shoes!"

"I bought a pair of black ballet slippers for my son. The shoes are well-made with solid stitching and nice leather, but there was a pea-sized spot of yellow glue on the inside lining, which was disappointing. I ordered a size 5 for him, and while they fit in length, they were very narrow in the heel and uncomfortable. He couldn't even try on the other shoe because of how poorly they fit. I was really hoping these would work for us, but we'll have to look for another brand locally. On a positive note, I appreciate the new Return program from Amazon—it made returning easy!"

"For my daughter's 5th-grade musical, I ordered both Capezio Daisy and Bloch Dansoft shoes. My daughter wears a size 4.5 in street shoes. I ordered a 7.5 in Capezio and a 4.5 in Bloch. Both shoes are great, with soft leather uppers and suede soles. However, I noticed that I could have gone a size smaller in both. Ultimately, I decided to keep the Capezio because it fit her better and matched our need for a nude tone. The price difference was minimal, so it worked out perfectly!"

"As a beginner in tap, I initially bought the Bloch Women's Tap-Flex in my street size (5.5M), but they felt a bit tight. I then ordered the Capezio Women's Flex Master in size 6. While both shoes fit, I preferred the Bloch construction and returned the Capezio. The Bloch Tap-Flex has a nice shape, softer leather, and the sole became more flexible with time. I appreciated the short laces too!"

"I purchased these tap shoes for my daughter, who wears a size 5 youth. Finding that size was challenging, especially for split sole shoes. After checking the Bloch website, I found them at $110, which was too high, but thanks to Amazon, we got them for $83! They arrived quickly, fit perfectly, and the quality is outstanding!"

"After dancing for over 40 years, I finally treated myself to these luxurious tap shoes. I've tried many styles but they all caused pain—until now! The toe box is generous, and they fit true to size. Although a bit pricey, they are worth every penny for the real leather uppers and soft, flexible soles. I highly recommend them!"

"These jazz shoes are absolutely perfect for musical theater and dance. They fit very snug, which is expected, but once they're on, they're incredibly comfortable. Plus, they're super lightweight and sturdy!"

"I have been purchasing these jazz shoes for my daughter for several years. She has a narrow foot and ankle, so other brands often fit poorly. We order a half size up from her street shoe, and they always turn out to be her favorites. She only wears Bloch shoes because of their exceptional fit and durability."

"I really appreciate the stretchiness of these shoes, but I found them a bit too narrow for my high arch. Overall, they just needed a bit more support for comfort."

"I got these slippers 5 months ago and didn't expect much for the $13 price tag, but they have definitely impressed me. They were a little bit hard and loose initially, but after one wash, they fit better! I wear them frequently, and while the bottom gets a bit dirty, I just throw them in the washing machine and they're like new again. I don't dry them in the dryer. I was looking for something inexpensive, washable, and cute, and these delivered! Would buy again for sure!"

"These ballet shoes are basic but effective. They fit exactly as I expected, and the material is good and light, making them great for class. Pretty comfortable overall!"

"Amazing for the price! They came in a cute little bag, and they fit perfectly! Just make sure to measure your child's feet because they aren't her usual size! She loves them, and after three dance lessons, they're holding up really well! A little bit of the lining ripped, but for the price, I'm not complaining!"

“I appreciate the high-quality materials used in this product; it feels really sturdy.”

“The durable design makes it perfect for everyday use.”

“I found it to be easy to use right from the start.”

“Their customer support is fantastic; they resolved my issue quickly.”

"I haven't started my lessons yet, but I can already tell that these ballet shoes will hold up well. The canvas is the right weight for relaxed support, and the divided soles make them very flexible. For the price, I think they are a great value."

"These shoes are made of stretchy canvas and are very comfortable with a split sole. They fit snugly but aren't too tight around the toes. The brighter pink color works great for my needs, and the price is fantastic!"

"This is my first pair of ballet slippers for a barre class. I used them today, and they worked as expected—less slippery than socks and stayed put on my foot. They allow my foot to move as if barefoot and don't provide noticeable support, but they look nice and fit perfectly based on my measurements."
