These shoes are perfect for young dancers. Whether they're practicing at home or performing on stage, these tap shoes are designed to meet their needs. Suitable for both girls and boys, they come in a range of sizes. For girls size 8.5 - 1.5, start with 1/2 size larger than street shoe size. For girls size 1.5 - 3.5, start with 3 full sizes larger than street shoe size (which means they would have to take a ladies size).
