Shoes Size Chart
Some of our dance shoes come in European or American sizes which we convert into English sizing. The size you ordered may not match the size on the box, but it is the correct converted size. Please try on both shoes to check the fit.
Dance shoes are designed to fit snugly and securely, supporting movement, balance, and articulation. If you’re new to dance shoes, keep in mind that they will feel more fitted than regular street shoes - and many styles stretch slightly with wear.

These So Danca Leather Character Heels run true to size.
If you usually wear a street shoe in So Danca or other dance brands, order the same size. The 3" heel is well-balanced, so you’ll feel lifted without feeling wobbly. The leather will give slightly with wear, molding to your foot, so they should feel snug-but-comfy on first try, not loose.
To ensure the longevity of your X-Strap leather character shoes, follow these care instructions:
Cleaning: Wipe the leather upper with a damp cloth to remove dirt and sweat
Conditioning: Apply a leather conditioner periodically to keep the leather soft and prevent cracking
Drying: Allow the shoes to air dry naturally. Avoid direct sunlight or heat sources that can damage the leather
Storage: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place. Use shoe bag
We understand that delivering your order, at a time that is convenient for you is important. If something goes wrong, as they sometimes do, then fixing it becomes our priority. Our customer service lines are open from 10 am - 5.00 pm Monday to Friday. Customer service can be contacted via email at orders@sodancastore.com or by phone at:
