Frequently Asked Questions
What sizes are available for the Só Dança Gabriella MD02 child ghillie?
The Só Dança Gabriella MD02 is available in toddler sizes 9.0 and 9.5, and child sizes 10.0 through 13.0, making it suitable for young dancers from approximately age 3 and up.
How should the Gabriella MD02 ghillie fit on a child's foot?
The Gabriella MD02 is designed to fit snugly and conform closely to the foot. The laces should be pulled firmly through the reinforced eyelets to achieve a secure, foot-hugging fit. If your child is between sizes, sizing up is generally recommended to allow for growth.
What is the difference between a split sole ghillie and a full sole ghillie?
A split sole ghillie, like the Só Dança Gabriella MD02, has separate leather pads at the toe and heel with a flexible opening in the arch. This construction allows greater articulation and pointing of the foot compared to a full sole shoe, which is particularly beneficial for Irish, Highland, and contemporary dance styles.
What dance styles is the Só Dança Gabriella MD02 suitable for?
The Gabriella MD02 is well suited for Irish dance, Highland dance, folkloric dance, lyrical, contemporary, and jazz. Its flexible split sole and secure lacing make it a versatile choice for children in recreational and studio dance programs.
How should I care for the Gabriella MD02 leather ghillie?
Spot clean the leather upper and sole pads with a slightly damp cloth and allow the shoe to air dry away from direct heat. Avoid submerging the shoe in water. Storing the shoes flat or stuffed with tissue paper will help them retain their shape between uses.
Is the Só Dança Gabriella MD02 a final sale item?
Yes, the Gabriella MD02 is a final sale item. It cannot be returned or exchanged, so Só Dança recommends carefully consulting the size chart before purchasing to ensure the correct fit for your child.
