Tracey in TX Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 For a non-dancer Payless is a great option! It's about half the cost of buying a quality slipper at a dance store. (DD can't wear the Payless shoes for dance. It's uncomfortable and interior falls apart with repeated wear.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bettyandbob Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Payless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 We bought ours at Danskin, but only b/c we don't have a Payless nearby. And now we don't have a Danskin, either. :glare: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3lilreds in NC Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 If you don't have a Payless (I didn't see ballet shoes at ours when I was in there recently), do you have a dance store? Our studio sells them for a good price, but they don't tend to have them big enough for my dd so we go to the local dance shop. If these are for dress up and play, rather than actual dance, sometimes Walmart has little ballet slippers. I got them for Emma for her 1st pair, but because they didn't have elastic over the top of the foot, they didn't stay on. They were great for play, though. You have to be careful with Discount Dance. They have great prices, but be sure to pay attention to whether the shoes run large or small - usually they will tell you. I have gotten shoes from them that simply did not fit (but mostly because I didn't pay attention). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiguirre Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I'd look in Walmart because they sell the satin slippers. They're not good for actual dance class, but I think they'd be better for dress up for a 2 yo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paula in PA Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 I'd look in Walmart because they sell the satin slippers. They're not good for actual dance class, but I think they'd be better for dress up for a 2 yo. :iagree: We started dd out with these 4 years ago. Once she got 'real' ballet slippers, she used the Walmart ones for dress-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readwithem Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Dance Factory Outlet has them for $5. http://www.dancefactoryoutlet.com/capezio/children/footwear/ballet-lyrical-jazz/ballet-shoe/prod201C.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
camibami Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 NOT the satin slippers!! I have seen untold numbers of girls take falls because those are *slippers* not ballet shoes. They are really slick, and so are wood floors, and the combo with "dance" is not a good one. Get leather soles, so they don't slip. They can be uber-cheap, but not the satin ones!!I don't even know why they make those darn things-! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
readwithem Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 :confused: Did you mean to say this to me? The shoes I linked are leather. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
