Ballet Shoes for Women — Your Buying Guide

Whether you're starting ballet or have been dancing for years, the right ballet shoes make all the difference. At Miss Salsa you will find a carefully selected collection of ballet shoes for women from top brands such as Capezio, Bloch and So Danca.

Our ballet shoes women are available in canvas and leather, with full or split sole. Canvas shoes are light and flexible — ideal for advanced dancers. Leather ballet shoes offer more structure and are perfect for beginners who are still working on their technique.

Tip from our experts: Ballet shoes should fit snugly without pinching. Your toes should be able to lie flat on the floor, and the heel should not be loose. If in doubt between two sizes, choose the smaller one — canvas stretches after a few lessons.

Frequently asked questions about ballet shoes

What is the difference between a full sole and a split sole?
A full sole provides more support and is ideal for beginners. A split sole offers more flexibility and shows your arch better — perfect for advanced dancers.

Canvas or leather, which is better?
Canvas is lighter, breathes better and stretches with your foot. Leather is more durable and offers more structure. We recommend canvas for intensive use, leather for beginners.

How do I maintain my ballet shoes?
Canvas ballet shoes can be hand washed at 30°C. Clean leather shoes with a damp cloth. Always let them air dry, never on the heating.
