Sizing Guidelines:
Women: 2.5-3 sizes down from street shoe size
Men: ½ -1 sizes down from street shoe size
Pointe shoes should be quite snug around the foot and are best fit by an experienced professional.
When you have a good fit, the sides of the shoe will lay flat against the foot when standing on flat and there won't be any twisting through the box.
You should be able to feel the end of the box with your toes but not have them crunched.
If it feels comfy, it's too big!

Frequently Asked Questions
What makes the Só Dança Claudia SD09C different from the standard satin Claudia SD09?
The Claudia SD09C is constructed with a stretch canvas outer fabric rather than traditional satin. The canvas material molds more quickly to the foot, offers a softer aesthetic, and is particularly well suited to contemporary ballet styles. The structural design, including the low-profile platform, long vamp, and supportive wings, is identical to the satin version.
What shank strengths are available for the Claudia SD09C, and how do I choose the right one?
The Claudia SD09C is available in Full Soft, Full Normal, Full Reinforced, and Full Extra Reinforced shanks. Dancers who are newer to pointe work or have a highly arched foot often prefer a softer shank, while more advanced dancers or those with stronger, flatter feet typically benefit from a reinforced or extra reinforced option. A certified pointe shoe fitter can help determine the best shank strength for your foot strength and arch.
What widths does the Só Dança Claudia SD09C come in, and how does the fit run?
The Claudia SD09C is available in widths B, C, D, and E. Width E is available in adult sizes only, starting at 3.0L. The shoe is designed to accommodate a wide range of foot shapes, and the V-vamp with U-shaped opening is particularly flattering on varying toe lengths. Dancers should be professionally fitted, as pointe shoe sizing does not correspond directly to street shoe sizing.
What accessories are included with the Claudia SD09C?
Each pair of Só Dança Claudia SD09C pointe shoes includes internal foam pads, ribbons, elastics, and leather toe covers. These components allow dancers to customize the fit and finish of the shoe for their specific needs and preferences.
How should I care for my Só Dança Claudia SD09C stretch canvas pointe shoes?
After each use, remove the shoes from your dance bag and allow them to air dry fully in a well-ventilated space. Avoid exposing them to direct heat or sunlight, which can break down the materials prematurely. Do not machine wash or submerge the shoes in water. Rotating between two pairs, when possible, extends the life of each shoe significantly.
How long does it take to receive the Claudia SD09C, and why does it take longer than the satin version?
The Claudia SD09C in stretch canvas is a made-to-order style and typically requires 10 to 14 weeks for production and delivery. This lead time reflects the custom nature of the canvas construction. If you need a Claudia pointe shoe sooner, the satin Claudia SD09 is available as an in-stock option.
