Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes does the Só Dança Rubius BA13 come in for children?
The Só Dança Rubius BA13 is currently available in children's sizes 1.5s and 2.0s. These are child-specific sizing designations. Consult the Só Dança shoe size chart to find the best fit for your child's foot length.
How should the Rubius BA13 canvas ballet slipper fit on a child's foot?
The Rubius BA13 should fit snugly without bunching at the toes or gaping at the heel. The stretch nylon spandex insert helps conform the shoe to the foot, providing a secure fit. For young dancers, a close fit is important to avoid tripping and to allow proper technique development.
Are the elastics on the Rubius BA13 pre-sewn or do they need to be attached?
The Rubius BA13 features pre-sewn crisscross elastics, so no additional sewing is required. The shoe is ready to wear straight out of the box, making it a convenient choice for parents and studio owners.
How do I clean the Só Dança Rubius BA13 canvas ballet shoes?
Canvas ballet shoes like the Rubius BA13 can typically be hand-washed in cool water with mild detergent and air-dried flat. Machine washing is generally not recommended, as it can distort the shape and degrade the elastic and sole. Always allow the shoes to dry completely before the next use.
What dance styles is the Rubius BA13 suitable for beyond ballet?
While the Rubius BA13 is designed primarily as a split sole canvas ballet slipper, its flexibility and low-profile construction also make it suitable for lyrical and contemporary dance classes. It is not intended for tap, pointe work, or high-impact styles.
How does the Só Dança Rubius BA13 compare to leather ballet slippers for children?
The Rubius BA13 is made from canvas rather than leather, which makes it lighter and more breathable, and generally more affordable. Canvas shoes tend to conform to the foot quickly but may wear faster than leather with heavy daily use. For children in regular weekly classes, canvas is a practical and popular choice.
