The search for children’s dance shoes can take a long time and can be quite frustrating. You may not know the exact shoe size of your child as dance shoe sizes are often different from normal shoes sizes. Another challenging aspect in finding children’s dance shoes is the variety of brands that are offered. You may find yourself wondering which brands are better and what exactly are the differences? Don’t be convinced that you have to buy a brand that’s more expensive? And does that make the shoe any better? Depending on who you talk to, the more expensive brand may not be better at all.

Here are 3 good tips to help you find children’s dance shoes:

Read online reviews
Reading reviews of products online is your best bet for finding the perfect brand, fit, or style of children’s dance shoes. The cool thing is that you can hear directly from moms who have bought a certain brand for their child and if they suggest people continue to buy it. Reviews are handy when you have selected a brand because you can find information about that brand online quickly and from people who have had experience with that brand so you know for sure.

Inquire about which brands are known for each discipline to the dance instructor
Go straight to the one who knows best – the dance teacher. Considering what dance discipline your child is in (tap, jazz, ballet) will mean that you’ll find not one brand fits all disciplines equally. You child’s teacher, most likely, teaches more than one discipline and they will be able to give you guidance on buying a shoe that will be better for ballet as opposed to jazz. If you use this method of going straught to the professional, you’ll surely find the right children’s dance shoes.

Be sure to get the brand that implies the most value or bang for your buck, not just which brand is on sale, because you might have to end up replacing it sooner than you’d like
Your child will most likely wear out their shoes quickly. But that usually varies depending on the brand. Some are sturdier and will last a couple of dance seasons, eventually saving you money. If you’re child is in ballet, the Capezio brand usually outlasts all other brands as they are known for their durability. For Jazz, you’d be better to go with Bloch for durability. Don’t just buy a shoe based on the price, do your research on quality and comfort first, then value. You could have to end up replacing the shoe faster than your child will grow out of it.
