Follow Dance Shoe Sizing Guide

I love my Bloch dance shoes. I do wolf spins like a gymnast. The only drawback is the sizing. I ignored the age old advice that when buying dance shoes or figure skates, you should order one size smaller than your street shoe size. Now I have to swap the shoes for 7 to make them fit. Dance shoes should fit snugly on the foot but allow flexibility. Plus size shoes don't show my pointe shoes and that's important. Shrink washing will not solve the problem.

There isn't enough material to cut and reattach so I'm wondering if I want to spend more money on rubber bands or if thisโ€ฆ

Light and strong, but WIDE

TL;DR: Extremely light. No pressure points. The fit is very different from Pro-Elastic and Synchrony: The forefoot is unusually wide. The canvas feels brittle and unrolls quickly, but is more durable than expected. The edges on the heels are less "finished" than on more expensive models, but I don't notice them when I'm dancing. Accidentally machine wash and dry my pair of tans and tumble dry (on low) and it held up perfectly so that seems fine too. (NOT recommended) Just a word of caution: I'm
