IRISH DANCE SHOE SIZING

 

Sizing Irish dance shoes can be tricky, as they are handmade and may vary slightly between manufacturers. Taking accurate foot measurements and consulting directly with a vendor will help ensure the best fit.

​

Ghillies are not required until dancers begin attending feiseanna, so families may choose to wait before purchasing. We also offer a selection of gently used shoes for sale. If you prefer to purchase new shoes, most vendors are happy to assist with sizing over the phone before placing an order.

​

The sizing charts below, provided by two major manufacturers—Fay’s and Rutherford—are intended as a general guide. We recommend confirming sizing directly with the vendor prior to ordering.
