Size and Heel Guide

SHOE SIZES

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.

WIDTH FITTINGS & SIZING

Many of our styles are available in various width fittings. When placing your order, please select the appropriate width from the dropdown menu.

Differences in Fittings:

- Regular vs. Wide: The difference between our regular and wide fitting is 3mm; and narrow and regular is 3mm. For extra-wide fittings, the difference increases to 6mm compared to regular.
- Size Increments: 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.
- Toe Shape Impact: Pointed toe court shoes are typically about half a size wider than rounded toe court shoes.

Please note that fitting can vary between different styles, so consider this before ordering.

SOLE WIDTH & UPPER ADJUSTMENTS

Our soles maintain a constant width of 8 cm across all sizes (for women's shoes). When adjusting the width for different fittings (narrow, regular, wide), only the upper part of the shoe changes in size, not the sole. The upper's circumference increases for wide fittings and decreases for narrow ones, particularly around the toes.

Insole Width: The insole width remains consistent across all fittings (narrow, regular, wide). The only variation is in the upper, which adjusts to provide the necessary circumference for comfort and fit.

MEASURING YOUR FOOT FOR THE BEST FIT

To ensure the best fit, we recommend taking two key measurements using the attached diagram:

Circumference: Measure around the widest part of your foot, as illustrated in the diagram (refer to part ‘A’).

Foot Length: Measure the length of your foot, following the guide in the diagram (refer to part ‘C’).

This will help you select the correct width fitting and ensure optimal comfort.

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

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.

WOMENS SHOE FITTING GUIDE

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.
