Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Brittany SD69L fit compared to a standard street shoe size?
The Só Dança Brittany SD69L typically fits true to size, but because ballet flats are worn snugly, many dancers order a half size down from their street shoe size. Só Dança offers this shoe in widths A, B, C, and D, so selecting the correct width is just as important as length for achieving a gape-free fit on relevé.
What makes the square toe cut on the Brittany SD69L different from other ballet flats?
The square toe cut on the Brittany SD69L is designed to follow the natural shape of the forefoot, reducing the gap that commonly appears at the sides of the shoe when a dancer rises to demi-pointe. This creates a cleaner line through the foot and is especially beneficial for dancers with wider toe boxes or a more square foot shape.
Why does the Brittany SD69L use an elastic casing instead of a drawstring?
The elastic casing replaces the traditional drawstring to reduce pressure on the Achilles tendon and surrounding structures. Drawstrings can create concentrated tension at the back of the heel, which over time may contribute to discomfort or tendon irritation. The elastic casing distributes tension more evenly, supporting tendon health during daily class use.
Is the elastic pre-sewn on the Brittany SD69L, or does it need to be attached?
The elastic on the Só Dança Brittany SD69L comes pre-sewn, so the shoe is ready to wear straight from the box. No additional sewing or alteration is required before the first class.
How should I care for the Brittany SD69L leather ballet flat?
To extend the life of the premium leather upper, allow the shoes to air dry fully after each use and avoid storing them in sealed bags or damp environments. The soft cotton liner helps absorb moisture during wear. Leather conditioner can be applied periodically to maintain pliability. The full suede sole should be brushed lightly to keep its texture and grip consistent on studio floors.
Is the Brittany SD69L suitable for male dancers, and is there a children's version available?
Yes, the Só Dança Brittany SD69L is suitable for male dancers and is offered in sizes and widths that accommodate a range of adult foot shapes. For younger students, Só Dança offers the Bella SD69S, which is the children's version of this style.
