Fit notes: Pointe shoes should fit perfectly and never leave room for growth, so in order to ensure they support feet precisely and comfortably, we recommend getting fitted by our professional fitter before you buy a new pair of pointe shoes. 

Unfortunately we cannot provide refunds for pointe shoes that have broken as a result of not being fitted prior to purchasing. Pointe shoes sizes are not the same as street shoe sizes. They should only be worn after years of proper ballet training and instruction. They can cause injury if worn improperly.
