These are the same shoes that my local dance shop sells and recommends for pre-ballet practice. They are very soft, flexible and do not slip. I was a little apprehensive about ordering a small pair until I saw that they would fit a small/medium foot size. (I always thought she had a medium/wide foot, so I was a bit surprised to see her last box was narrow.) I don't think you need to size up. She outgrew the brand's flats around the same time she outgrew her regular shoes.
