Look great. Fit, terrible.

The shoes look lovely but neither pair fit and both pairs are supposed to be a 5.5 but they are significantly different in size from on another. I’ve been a size 5.5 for almost 40 years - neither pair fit. The sandle shape my toes are put over the end of the shoes and the gorgeous lace ups, I can only get my feet in with pain (it is not a case of ‘wearing them in’. They are the wrong size. Really disappointed as I had been so much looking forward to them. Look, great! Fit, terrible!

Hi Katie,

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review and we're sad to hear that your shoes didn't fit.

Notice that this was your first order with us and some brands do differ a little in terms of sizing which can be frustrating.

The Mia T-Bar shoes are returnable, so if you did want to exchange these for a bigger size it's no problem at all (just return using the returns form supplied). Sadly the Roxy shoe is bespoke though but we might be able to stretch these (should you want to send them with the Mia T-Bar shoes).

Hope that we can help this way.

Many thanks,
International Dance Shoes

Too high extra expenses

Too high shipping costs, too high taxes into the EU.

Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to review us. Sadly, shipping costs are very expensive nowadays and we continue to try to keep them as low as we can.

About taxes - you no longer pay VAT to us - it is paid at the rate in your country on arrival. It might seem as an 'added cost' however, as the UK is no longer part of the EU, you pay less to us nowadays as you don't pay us the VAT.

Many thanks,
International Dance Shoes

Great customer support

I thought I needed a bespoke shoe given my foot size was beyond the available women’s sizing, but International Dance Shoes provided me with great advice to find a similar option in the men’s range which meant I didn’t have to pay the additional fee for bespoke shoes. Great service, and great products. I love my new dance practice shoes!

Hello,

Thanks for taking the time to leave some comments. We only have an email in February which was asking about our DanceGoals rewards (which was replied to within 24 hours - we'll resend it). Aside from that we don't see any other emails so please resend us anything you didn't get a reply from.

Many thanks,
