invisiblecircus Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 It's been a long time since I've bought shoes. I used to buy a size up from street shoe size for children, but I don't think I've ever bought either of these two brands. Do they generally fit true to size or do most people need to size up? They're full sole if that makes a difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing unicorn Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 Hiya we've had both! But only in the split sole! Found Capezio suitable for wider feet! DD uses So Danca at voc school (split sole) lovely snug fit and true to size Hope that helps 🥰 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisiblecircus Posted October 14, 2021 Author Share Posted October 14, 2021 These would be for my 9yo DD and the school has asked for full sole. Useful to know Capezio is good for wider feet because my DD has very narrow feet! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meetmeatthebarre Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 I find both brands to run small in length, even after their conversion into UK sizes. I have to go 1 to 1.5 sizes up from what Capezio's own website recommends. For Sansha, 0.5 to 1 size. I have extremely narrow feet (Grishko X and Capezio NN in pointe shoes) but N flat shoes in both Sansha and Capezio have been fine. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted October 14, 2021 Share Posted October 14, 2021 No idea about Sansha, but Capezio use US sizing which is around 2 sizes smaller than UK. So if you are a size 4 you'd probably need a Capezio 6 or thereabouts, and they also do different widths. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in my experience, Capezio runs small even with the conversion - I'm a UK 4.5 and wear a Capezio 8! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly available mail order & in store st Freeds - very helpful on phone ) are great. Have had split sole canvas & they cone with elastics pre-sewn always just right! No idea if they do a full sole however. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Her Capezios were 1.5 sizes up from regular shoe. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dancing unicorn Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Dd actually used to love her zeniths at a particular school, but since moving to upper they all preferred the fit and colour of the so Danca as blended with pink tights better 🤣 DD a true size 5 but we get 5.5C in the so Danca and they fit perfect 🩰 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
