Size and Heel Guide

All Supadance shoes are made to English sizes. For the convenience of our many international customers we are pleased to provide these quick reference guides to approximate equivalent Japanese, European and US shoe sizes.

Many of our styles are available in different width fittings. Please select your preferred width from the dropdown menu when placing your order.

Important:

Do not order a Made-to-Order (non-returnable) shoe without first trying a stock shoe in a similar size and width.

A wide fitting generally adds approximately half a size in width, while an extra-wide fitting corresponds to roughly a full size increase. Narrow fittings reduce the width by about half a size. We strongly recommend purchasing a stock shoe to try on at home. You can then exchange it for a different size or fitting, or return it for a refund if needed.

Understanding Our Width Fittings

- Narrow (N), Regular (R), Wide (W), Extra Wide (WW)

- Each width fitting differs by approximately 3mm (narrow–regular–wide).

- Extra wide is about 6mm wider than regular.

- A wide fitting feels roughly half a size roomier, while an extra wide fitting feels about a full size wider.

- Narrow fittings are about half a size tighter.

- Pointed toe styles fit slightly wider than rounded toe designs.

Fitting can vary between styles, so please take this into consideration before ordering.

The sole width (8 cm for women’s styles) remains the same across all fittings.

Only the upper of the shoe changes — becoming looser or tighter around the toes and ball of the foot depending on the fitting.

The insole width stays consistent in all fittings; it’s the upper’s circumference that changes to improve comfort and support.

We no longer require customers to send us measurements. However, if you’d like to double-check at home:

Length (C): Measure from heel to toe.

Width (A): Measure around the widest part of your foot.

Use these measurements only as a guide to help you decide which stock size to try first.

Once you’ve tried a pair on, you’ll know exactly which fitting works best for you before placing a Made-to-Order.

IMPORTANT NOTES: WOMENS SHOE FITTING GUIDE/h2>

Our shoes are designed to fit various preferences and styles. Below are some helpful tips to ensure the perfect fit for your specific shoe type.

Round-Toe Ballroom Shoes:
It’s recommended to leave a few millimetres of space between your toes and the end of the shoes for comfort. If your shoe size matches the exact measurement on our size chart, consider going up by half a size.

Pointed-Toe Ballroom Shoes:
Pointed-toe styles tend to run half a size larger than round-toe shoes. For example, a Style 1003 in UK size 4 will fit like a UK 4.5 on our size chart.

Latin Sandals:
For Latin sandals, avoid extra space between your toes and the insole. For maximum comfort and a secure fit, you might even opt for a slight deficit insole length, ensuring no material extends beyond your toes when pointed.

Stiletto/SD Latin Heels:
Stiletto and SD Latin heeled shoes generally fit half a size smaller than Flare, Slim, or Contour heeled shoes. The smaller fit is preferred by professional dancers who want to feel very secure in the shoes.

2” Flare Heel Shoes:
2-inch Flare Heel tend to fit half a size larger than those with a 2.5-inch heel.

LADIES BALLROOM SHOES: POINTED VS. ROUNDED TOES

• In the early 1960s, ballroom shoes featured pointed toes, reflecting the fashion of the time. This style elongates the foot, creating an elegant look that remains popular in places like Japan.
• As fashion evolved, the rounded toe design emerged, offering a modern alternative with added comfort.
• Today, the choice between pointed and rounded toes is a matter of personal preference.
• Our pointed toe designs fit half a size wider than our round toe designs, providing options that cater to different foot shapes and style preferences.

PERSONALISED SIZING ASSISTANCE

Given that sizing can vary across different styles, heel types, and heights, we recommend contacting us with your measurements and your desired style/heel type. Please email us the following details:

1. The style number you’re interested in.
2. Your foot length.
3. The circumference measurement around the widest part of your foot.
4. Your preferred heel type and height.

With this information, we will provide you with the most accurate size to ensure a perfect fit.

For width please measure around the widest part of your foot, part ‘A’, and for length please measure part ‘C’
