Fit & Size Advice

• Fit note: this style comes up slightly bigger than standard dance shoe sizing
• We recommend choosing half to one full size down for the best fit
• High arch shape designed to follow the natural line of the dancer’s foot
• Variable lacing system allows adjustable support through the arch and midfoot
• Trainers should feel secure without restricting movement
  
• Suitable for intermediate, advanced and professional dancers

The Métier Dance Trainers should feel secure, cushioned and supportive without excess space around the heel or toe. Because this style fits slightly generous, most dancers achieve a better studio-ready fit by sizing down half to one full size.

How should dance trainers fit?

Dance trainers should fit securely and comfortably without feeling tight or restrictive. Your heel should stay stable during movement, while the split sole should allow the foot to point and flex naturally. A properly fitted dance trainer helps reduce fatigue, improve support and allows dancers to move confidently through fast choreography and high-impact training.
