Beautiful REAL leather ballet slippers! They bring back memories of my child ballet classes :) My daughter wears a 7wide and as per many reviews order a size up.  The 8wide fits like a regular shoe - with room to grow, which is not how ballet slippers should fit.  Ballet slippers should fir almost like a sock - with tightening the elastic we can make it work but I would have felt more comfortable sticking with her normal size, maybe 1/2 size up at most.  She loves her Bloch slippers!!
