Unfortunately I have had to send back all three pairs of shoes that I ordered as they were all too small, despite ordering a half size bigger than my daughters usual shoe size. All three pairs were the 1st Position brand, maybe these come up smaller. The box was damaged on arrival (not Dance Directs fault I know). The inner sole on one of the tap shoes shoes was not inserted/stuck in properly when manufactured and the heel inserts to cover the heels on the inside of the jazz shoes were not stuck down properly. Again, maybe this is an issue with 1st Position products.
