Women's ballet shoes for class, pointe preparation and performance
Women's ballet shoes cover a wider range of need than most people expect. Whether you are coming back to dance after a break, working seriously through a syllabus or preparing for pointe work, the shoe you choose matters more than it might seem. Dance Direct stocks a specialist range covering recreational class through to pre-professional training and stage performance.
Leather, canvas and stretch ballet shoes
Leather ballet shoes are durable and supportive, moulding to the foot over time and holding their shape through regular training. Canvas ballet shoes are lightweight and flexible, while stretch canvas options give a smooth, close fit that follows the foot cleanly. All three materials are available in split sole and full sole across our full range of women's sizes.
Split sole and full sole ballet shoes
Split sole ballet shoes free up the arch for greater flexibility and a more defined pointed foot, making them the preferred choice for advancing dancers and performance work. Full sole ballet shoes support the whole foot and suit dancers returning to class or working on foot strengthening. Dance Direct stocks both sole types from Bloch, Capezio, Energetiks and Dance Direct across a full range of women's sizes.
Women's ballet shoes for every level
Whether you are a beginner, a returning dancer or a serious student working toward exams, the right ballet shoe makes a difference to how your foot moves and how your technique develops. Our range covers every level with options to suit every foot shape and training need. Before ordering online, use our ballet shoe size guide to find the right fit.
