How Should Leather Ballet Shoes Fit?

Leather ballet shoes should feel snug at first, as the material will stretch slightly with wear. A close fit ensures better control, improved technique, and a clean line through the foot. If the shoes feel slightly tight initially, this is normal - they will soften and adapt to your foot shape after a few classes.
