It depends on the brand. In some brands, like Bloch, a women's size 4 1/2 is a size 1 in pointe shoe. Use the chart in related links for reference.

Are pointe shoes and normal shoes sized the same?

Pointe shoes and normal shoes are not sized the same. Pointe shoes are typically sized smaller than street shoes, often requiring dancers to go one to two sizes down to achieve a proper fit. Additionally, pointe shoes are designed to accommodate the specific shape of a dancer's foot, including the width and arch, which can differ significantly from regular shoe sizing. It's essential for dancers to get professionally fitted to ensure optimal performance and comfort.


What pointe shoes do you recommend?

Either Capezio or Bloch. You should visit a place that sells pointe shoes and they should tell you which size and shoe pads to buy. Personally, I hate Capezios, but I love Grishko and Russian Pointe ( actual brand name). Some people say they are the pointe shoes from hell, but I think they are exceptional, and look really professional and elegant on your feet.


Can you do pointe with demi pointe shoes?

It is physically possible...BUT... do not do it. It can break toes, feet, and possibly mess up tendens and muscles in the process. It also hurts. If you want to go onto pointe then you need to buy a real pair of pointe shoes. They are usually cheaper online. NO! DO NOT TRY THIS! This can break your feet. Demi pointe shoes are for demi pointe. Pointe shoes are for pointe. ANSWER 2 Hi, Demi-pointe shoes are used so that you can experience the sensations of pointe shoes without going on pointe. THEY ARE NOT FOR GOING ON POINTE IN! If you are only wearing demi-pointe shoes then your instructor obviously does not feel you ankles are strong enough for pointe work yet. If you do this then you face the chance of never being able to go on pointe because you have damaged you feet. So stick to demi pointe shoes for demi pointe and wait a while until your ankles are strong enough to go on pointe! PS you should never go on pointe before you are 12 as research has shown that the joints etc. in your feet have not fully developed!
