MBroo Posted August 14, 2022 Share Posted August 14, 2022 My dtr has such narrow feet! Looking for ideas on what other ballet shoes to try. so Danca 116 is baggy on the forefoot. Capezio hanami in 6 narrow is still baggy -we size down but still doesn’t look clean. I'm thinking of ordering Grishko in NN. Any others we should try? We will have to order online.

Jan McNulty Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 Hello MBroo and welcome to the Forum! May I ask where you are based? I've added a couple of extra tags which will bring up older threads that may have useful information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBroo Posted August 15, 2022 Author Share Posted August 15, 2022 I am in the US (Midwest). Local stores only carry capezio basic shoes. So I usually order her shoes online. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsellian Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 My DD has fairly narrow feet, and wears Bloch soft shoes in "B" width. I think many of the styles have an even narrower "A" width which you'd be able to order online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mamaderuby Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 (edited) My suggestion is So Danca SD55 width A. Available from Dancewearcorner in US. Online shopping. Edited August 15, 2022 by Mamaderuby Wrong shop name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
balletgremlin Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 I've got narrow feed (I've had Bloch "A" width shoes that are too wide before). I use So Danca SD120 - similar to SD16 but they have left and right shoes so they taper at the toes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aurora3 Posted August 15, 2022 Share Posted August 15, 2022 You could also try Capezio Hanami in 1/2 size shorter - they are stretch, so they should fit allright then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use So Danca SD120 - similar to SD16 but they have left and right shoes so they taper at the toes. Another good suggestion. My daughter moved from the So Danca SD55 to So Danca SD120 in a width B when she was allowed by her teacher to move from leather flat sole to canvas split sole. The canvas has a stretch too, so fits to foot shape from first wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBroo Posted August 15, 2022 Author Share Posted August 15, 2022 Yes we already size down by a whole size in the Hanami canvas. But still baggy on her foot. She only wears canvas now. (Pointe shoes are a whole other beast right now as there is limited types for her to try on. Bloch in width A is still way to wide) but now trying to get good soft shoes while we work with her school for pointe shoes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peanut68 Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 Chacott canvas split soles in narrow fitting work for both me & my daughter with narrow feet. Freed of London supply them & will post out. I think they are possibly made in Japan so am sure there would be stockists in USA. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mae Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I have some Sansha Pro NN that work fine. I hated the serged-edge liner, but I removed the serging and tacked the liner down to the inside canvas and it works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peony Posted August 21, 2022 Share Posted August 21, 2022 I’d have said the Bloch a width is the narrowest. Maybe try different styles, particularly those with an elastic drawstring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBroo Posted August 21, 2022 Author Share Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) We’ve ordered some shoes that should be delivered tomorrow. hopefully they will be good for her. Edited August 21, 2022 by MBroo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derin's Mom Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Definitely advice Bloch Proforma B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MBroo Posted September 16, 2022 Author Share Posted September 16, 2022 I thought I updated The Nikolay Grishko Dreamstretch in A width is perfect!! Bloch B is too wide her pointe shoes are also A width with spacers, gel pads, & tape and still her shoes comes off one heel (double elastics) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
