Your cart is empty.In 1982, Franck Raoul-Duval, a 25-year-old Frenchman with a passion for dance and Russian history, created a new type of ballet shoe. After numerous trials and adjustments, he came up with an innovation that changed the lives of dancers everywhere. The split-sole ballet slipper, with its glove-like fit, was born. Sansha now manufactures an extensive range of dance shoes for everything from ballet to jazz, hip-hop to flamenco, and ballroom to tap. Sansha collaborates with dance professionals, teachers and store owners to remain a prominent brand in the dance capitals of the world.

My son needed these but they didn’t fit. What a disappointment. Please double check the size.

My son has a wide foot, and we were having the hardest time finding a proper fit. (I'm a dancer/teacher as well, so it bothers me when shoes don't fit correctly or look streamline on the foot.) He wears a kids 3.5/4. We went with the 5XW and they are fantastic. Very happy with the Extra Wide option. I would recommend staying with the +1/2 sizes. They look pretty nice on his foot and through the arch, so we'll stick with them!

It is hard to find canvas ballet shoes in e width. For those of us who have wide feet, these are great. Finally, after 20 years, I can spread the ball of my foot the full width, and not be encumbered by the shoes. Furthermore, the leather shank piece under the ball of my foot is in the right place. No more rolling action hoping for the right spot on the shoe for turning. To date I have worn these 3 times for 2 hours each, and they still feel great.

This shoe is a MENS size 17 Medium Width. It is listed also as a size 13 Men's (but that is actually the women's size equivalent).

For the last few years I have been constantly searching for a pair of dance slippers big enough to fit my feet. I wear a "street shoe" in a men's size about "13 Wide," or in practice anything from "12.5" to "14." I found a pair of canvas/suede-soled ballet shoes in 14 Wide in a somewhat-local dance supply store, but a year and a half of weekly Scottish country dance classes has worn them out. When I went to replace them, first with the equivalent model in leather, then with a supposedly identical model, "size 14" was the largest available on the website, and was more than a size too small in both leather and canvas.I was about ready to give up when I found this model, which at the time was the *only* ballet slipper available in (men's) size 15 or above in black. I got size 15 Wide (which it calls 19W), and it fits my (street-shoe-size 13) feet pretty well. The toe is maybe a little narrow, and the heel area is a little loose, especially compared to the Capezio Romeo. But since the size of the opening in the shoe is adjustable, that's all to the good.For use in Scottish country dancing, this is still not ideal---I want a full sole dance slipper, not one with split soles, and I want one entirely in leather. But this is the best I've found yet.

Find the manufacturer's size guide for proper fit. I'm a 10.5 street shoe and fit good and snug into a size 14 Sansha slipper. Sansha slippers are a bit bulky in front of the sole. Or it could be that I haven't mastered finding my center. Also, I pull the insole for a better feel of the dance floor.

I am a non-dancer who wears these at home as slippers. The toe is not cut as low as it generally is in a traditional woman's ballet shoe. Criss-crossing elastic straps are pre-sewn into the back. You can adjust the size using the elastic cord sewn along the top. Order up 1 1/2 -- 2 sizes.
