Trying to buy ballet shoes for my wee one but not knowing what to do..as buying ballet shoes is a minefield anyway...
The oldest 2 have narrow feet so one size up is good on them...but what to do with slightly wider than the normal feet?
Do you just order the size up or 2 sizes up?
Its child size 7 or 8s that are normal in the size for the feet (outdoor shoes dependant on make) ....im confused to demented!
And want to get the shoes for next weekend ....as thats when ballet starts again!
Any mums or anyone with advice (real advice not just quips) would be helpful .....
Thanks
(also looking for black shoes) as its a boy....and pink is not worthy of a look in! (well he has to watch 2 sisters do ballet and wants to join in and at his age (3) Im not discouraging it)

Why not take your son to a de shoe shop where they will be more than happy to measure his feet and advise you to what is best suited for him. They also do black and pink ballet pumps.

If you got pink ones to fit, could you not dye them black?
