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.

Best For: Ballroom • Social Dancing • Tango • Lessons • Practice • Lower-Heel Preference
Description
Description
The Freed of London Nancy Ballroom Dance Shoes bring together traditional ballroom elegance and the reassuring feel of a lower, more stable heel. With a closed toe, graceful T-bar and softly shaped silhouette, Nancy is an easy shoe to reach for when comfort and security matter just as much as appearance.
Freed Nancy Personality
Classic • Graceful • Reassuring • Quietly Glamorous
Nancy has a lovely old-school ballroom quality without feeling dated. The closed toe creates a polished silhouette, while the slender T-bar introduces just enough detail to make the shoe feel feminine rather than purely practical.
The two colours give Nancy quite different personalities. Champagne/Gold feels lighter and dressier, with metallic gold trim tracing the T-bar and forefoot beautifully. Black is the understated classic – versatile, elegant and particularly easy to coordinate for lessons, social dancing and evening wear.
Freed Nancy Ballroom Shoes – Design & Performance
Nancy is built around one of the most reassuring combinations in ballroom footwear: a closed toe, secure T-bar and low shaped heel.
The closed front gently contains the forefoot and creates a smooth traditional ballroom line, while the T-bar runs through the centre of the foot before connecting to an adjustable buckle strap. This gives Nancy a more anchored feeling than a simple court shoe and helps keep the foot comfortably connected to the shoe throughout travelling steps and turns.
At 1.5 inches, the shaped heel keeps the dancer noticeably closer to the floor than a traditional higher ballroom or Latin heel. It is a particularly approachable height for social dancers, dancers returning to heels, longer classes and anyone who values stability over a more pronounced heel pitch.
Underneath, the full suede dance sole provides the traditional combination of glide and controlled resistance expected from an indoor ballroom shoe.

Dance World Notes
Nancy's strength is confidence, not height.
The 1.5" heel keeps the dancer close to the floor, making this a particularly reassuring alternative to the taller ballroom shoes in our collection.
Dance World Fit Advice
Overall Fit
Nancy has a traditional enclosed ballroom fit and should feel comfortably secure without excessive movement inside the shoe. Choose your usual UK dance shoe size. Nancy is currently listed as fitting true to size.
Who Will Appreciate It Most?
Dancers who prefer a lower heel, closed-toe security or a more traditional ballroom feel are likely to find Nancy particularly approachable.
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.
