Care information
International shoe sizes can vary slightly between brands and models. Use your measured foot length as the best starting point, then compare it with the individual brand's size recommendation. Where a product page gives model-specific sizing advice, that guidance should always take priority over a general conversion chart.

International Kids' Shoe Size Conversion
Children's shoe sizing changes from child to youth sizing as feet grow. Measure the child's foot rather than converting from an existing school or trainer size wherever possible.

Never choose a dance shoe from conversion alone. Ballet, jazz, ballroom and character shoes can fit very differently depending on the last, upper material, width and intended level of compression. Use this table to understand international equivalents, then follow the fit advice for the individual shoe.
How to Measure Your Feet for Dance Shoes
Measure both feet while standing, preferably later in the day. Use the longer foot when comparing your measurement with a shoe size chart.
Foot Length
Key MeasurementStand with your heel lightly against a wall and place your foot flat on a sheet of paper. Mark the end of your longest toe and measure the distance from the wall to the mark.
Measure in centimetres for the most accurate comparison with international shoe charts.
Measure Both Feet
Repeat the measurement on the other foot. It is very common for one foot to be slightly longer than the other, so always use the larger measurement when choosing your starting size.
Foot Width
Measure across or around the widest part of the forefoot. Width can be just as important as length in dance shoes, particularly in fitted ballet, jazz and ballroom styles.
Measure While Standing
Take measurements with your full weight on your feet. Standing allows the foot to spread naturally and gives a more realistic measurement than measuring while sitting.
Check the Dance Fit
A correctly fitted dance shoe should feel secure without restricting the toes or causing pressure. Different dance disciplines require different amounts of growing room, compression and heel security, so always follow the model-specific Dance World Fit Advice.
This chart is designed as an international reference rather than a replacement for individual brand sizing. Bloch, Capezio, So Danca, IDS, PortDance, Diamant and other dance footwear brands may use their own conversion systems or fit differently from standard street shoes. Always use the individual product's Dance World Fit Advice where available.

Description
Description
The Freed of London Leona Dance Shoes bring a little glamour back to the dance floor. Sleek black satin, an elegant open-toe silhouette and sparkling diamante details give Leona a beautifully dressed-up feel, while the adjustable front vamp makes this much more than simply a pretty social dance shoe.
Freed Leona Personality
Glamorous • Feminine • Social • A Little Bit Vintage
Leona knows she's going dancing. The black satin keeps everything sophisticated, but the circular diamante ornament at the toe and sparkling buckle give the shoe just enough jewellery to make it feel special.
There is something slightly vintage about the combination too – particularly with the softly shaped vamp and classic black satin. It's a lovely option for dancers who want sparkle without choosing a metallic, glitter-covered or heavily strappy shoe.
Freed Leona Black Satin Dance Shoes – Design & Performance
Leona is built around a softly shaped open-toe satin vamp that provides more coverage than many fine-strapped Latin sandals. The front is finished with an elegant circular diamante detail that draws the eye without overwhelming the shoe.
One of Leona's most useful features is its adjustable buckle vamp. Rather than having a completely fixed forefoot, the front can be adjusted to create a more personalised fit around the toes and ball of the foot – particularly useful when standard open-toe sandals feel either too restrictive or too open.
A slim adjustable ankle strap helps secure the heel and is finished with a coordinating diamante buckle, carrying the sparkle from the front of the shoe through to the ankle.
The 2.5" shaped heel gives Leona an elegant dance-floor pitch while retaining a more approachable feel for social Ballroom, Latin and Salsa. Underfoot, a traditional suede dance sole provides the controlled glide and rotation expected from dedicated indoor dance footwear.

Dance World Notes
The adjustable vamp is the clever part.
Leona looks like a glamorous satin sandal, but the front buckle allows the vamp to be adjusted around the forefoot. That makes it particularly interesting for dancers who struggle with the fixed width of many open-toe styles.
We see Leona primarily as a social shoe.
Freed describes this model as a social sandal, and that is where we think it makes the most sense – Ballroom and Latin classes, Salsa nights, social dancing and occasions where you want your dance shoes to look genuinely dressed up.
Dance World Fit Advice
Adjustable Forefoot
Unlike many fixed-vamp dance sandals, Leona allows the front of the shoe to be adjusted around the forefoot for a more personalised fit. From our experience with this style, we recommend beginning ½ size above your usual street-shoe size for a comfortable dance fit.
Regular & Wider Forefeet
Don't dismiss Leona simply because you need more room across the front. Freed specifically positions its adjustable vamp as suitable for a wider fit, making this one of the more adaptable open-toe styles in the collection.
Correct Dance Fit
The heel should remain secure and the foot should not slide forward excessively. Adjust the front vamp so it comfortably contains the forefoot without squeezing the toes.
Dance World sizing recommendations are intended as a starting point. Ballroom shoe fit is individual and can vary with foot width, toe shape, instep height and personal preference.
