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
Who is the Só Dança Aurora SD34 pointe shoe designed for?
The Aurora SD34 is specifically engineered for dancers with wider metatarsals and narrow heels. The higher crown box accommodates fuller forefoot volume while the tapered heel keeps the shoe secure, making it an excellent option for dancers who have struggled to find a well-fitting pointe shoe in standard lasts.
What width and shank options does the Aurora SD34 come in?
The Aurora SD34 is available in widths B, C, D, and E, and in four shank strengths: Full Soft, 3/4 Normal, Full Normal, and Full Reinforced. This range of combinations allows dancers and teachers to select the configuration that best matches foot strength, training level, and performance needs.
What accessories are included with the Aurora SD34?
Each pair of the Só Dança Aurora SD34 includes internal foam pads, ribbons, elastics, and leather toe covers. These components are included so the shoe is ready to be fitted and sewn without requiring separate purchases.
How should I size the Aurora SD34 pointe shoe?
Pointe shoe sizing differs from street shoe sizing. Só Dança recommends consulting the pointe shoe size chart before ordering and, when possible, having a professional fitting performed by a qualified dance retailer or teacher. The SD34 sizing begins at child size 2.0s and extends through adult size 10.5L.
How do I care for the Aurora SD34 to extend its life?
After each use, remove the Aurora SD34 from your dance bag and allow the shoes to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area. Avoid storing them in a sealed bag while damp. Rotating between two pairs when training frequently can help extend the lifespan of the box and shank.
How does the Aurora SD34 compare to other Só Dança pointe shoes?
The Aurora SD34 is distinguished by its higher crown and wider box, which sets it apart from standard-fit Só Dança pointe shoes that suit more tapered or medium-volume feet. The multiple shank and width options make it one of the more customizable fits in the Só Dança pointe shoe range, suited to intermediate through professional dancers who need extra forefoot room without sacrificing heel security.
