ponklemum Posted March 1, 2019 Share Posted March 1, 2019 My dd does jazz and has been using foot thongs in class but doesn't like them for doing things like pirouettes. Some of the students wear ballet shoes but she’s not fond of wearing the shoes for jazz so it was suggested the tries the half/pirouette shoe. I however have never had to buy these so have no idea what I’m doing. Does anyone have any suggestions of a good half shoe to try? Her favourite ballet shoe is the capezio hanami is that makes any difference. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cara in NZ Posted March 2, 2019 Share Posted March 2, 2019 (edited) We did get some although DD never actually used them. They are really just a leather toe-cover and some narrow strips of elastic. So just go by her shoe size and you can adjust the elastic if necessary. I don't think the brand is so important as there's not much to them – although DC will always have favourites! For example, on this website they give sizing info according to street shoe size: https://www.movedancewear.com/dance_shoes_contemporary_shoes-bloch_vantage_leather/1763/ Edited March 2, 2019 by Cara in NZ Incomplete comment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruisedballerina Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I would recommend canvas half soles as the leather ones sweat your feet a lot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixiewoo Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 DD wanted leather ones as she wears through the canvas ones quite fast ... but she couldn't get a good fit for her feet and said they were uncomfortable to dance in, so we've gone back to the Capezio canvas half shoes.

ponklemum Posted March 12, 2019 Author Share Posted March 12, 2019 Thank you. I’ve bought Capezio canvas half shoes which dd will try tonight. I’ll let you know how she gets on. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponklemum Posted March 13, 2019 Author Share Posted March 13, 2019 Just to update. Dd used them for her jazz class and really liked them. She much preferred them to the foot thongs and they were really comfortable too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
