Pleasers are my favorite shoe and they make your size. I wear an 8.5 in street shoes but for the open toe dance shoes I size down to an 8. The vamp will eventually stretch and a sized down shoe allows me to get more wear and not fall out of it when that happens. If it is a closed toe shoe (boot) I size up to 9.
Some dancers prefer to size up regardless. These shoes can be a bit tricky to get a feel for what works well. Each brand wears a bit differently so you will likely find a favorite. In addition there is heel height, strap, vamp design etc etc… all different considerations you will build preferences for. However… once you know, you got it!
I was thrilled when I found Pleaser on Amazon after I got the sizing figured out (buyer pays return shipping). I also enjoy shopping from Snaz75.com but you also pay return shipping. Snaz has an amazing selection and they offer facebook coupon codes sometimes.
Happy shopping!!! : )
