These ballet shoes are perfect for young dancers, whether they're just starting out or have been dancing for a while. They're suitable for both girls and boys. The shoes are made of super soft and lightweight stretch canvas, with a split sole for added flexibility. The toe shape is designed for ultimate balance, and the arch adheres beautifully. There's shock absorbing heel cushioning and pre sewn crossed elastics for a secure fit. The generous front and rear leather sole pads provide extra durability.
