Eurotard's split sole canvas ballet shoes feature pre-sewn criss cross elastics that are ready to wear, smooth suede soles for easy gliding, and an elastic arch casing that enhances the shape of your foot. Brushed cotton lines these ballet shoes for soft, breathable comfort while the multiway stretch canvas wraps around your foot for a sock-like fit. The flattened pleating under the metatarsals adapts to a variety of shapes and the slightly tapered outer sole padding creates a cleaner heel-to-toe line. A comfortable, drawstring free elastic binding wraps around the shoe opening for a streamlined look and secure fit. FITTING GUIDE: For women, begin the same as street size; for men, begin with two sizes up from street size.
