The best, and affordable
Rating: 5
These are great! I wore leather slippers forever and now I know what I've been missing. The flush sole is great and they wash easily with woolite on the gentle cycle, just make sure you stuff them with newspaper or dish towel or something, or they'll shrink. I'd refer to the size chart for sure.

So I got these for a musical because I needed new dancing shoes. I don't do much ballet any more but I knew I wanted split sole and canvas. When I got them both the straps were unattached.

Sansha Pro are the best brand of ballet shoes I have ever bought/worn. They are extremely comfortable, and they complement my arches. I have been using the Sansha Pro shoes for the past 4 years and they are extremely durable, and last very long. I would strongly recommend these to everyone!

the best.
Rating: 5
I love these, they are the best ballet shoes ever. I've been using them for five years, since I was eight and I've loved them ever since. I have flat feet and they make my "arches" look really good. they also look good when pointed in. They lasted me a whole year of dancing 4 hours a week, but now I've upped my dance time to 7 1/2 hours and I'll see how well they hold up. They last much longer than the Grishkos.

I love the way they make my feet look
Rating: 5
I just received my Sansha "Pro" #1 and I love them already. I read many of the reviews and took into account the complaints about the sizing issue. I decided to order only one size up from my street size and they fit perfectly. They are snug and that's what I wanted because I know they will stretch. I wear 9B street size and ordered a 10N. They fit great! I ordered white and they are very white which is fine, although, I know they'll probably get dirty fast but I can wash them. I love the way they make my feet look when I point which is a big deal because I have fallen arches and I haven't found a shoe yet that really helps that area until now. The reviews I read how great these shoes are live up to all they said as far as fit and look. We'll see how they wear which I think they'll be great also.

Sizing is
Rating: 3
My street size is 7-8, so I got an 8. They where VERY tight on me. Getting a size bigger might be advisable. :)

Also, they didn't feel very protective regardless of size. When I was doing jumpy moves on my toes it felt like I was barefoot(not a good feeling!).

These are really cute and make my feet look beautiful. But I can't dance in them correctly as they are lumpy where the canvas meets leather on the sole. Right on the balance point. It is so painful to go up on releve!!!

Loved at first, then not so much
Rating: 3
I loved these shoes at first. The flush sole never catches on the floor, so that's a nice feeling. My issue is with the heel sole. The heel sole is really far forward on me heel and it feels really awkward and uncomfortable. I have only used them for 2 days so far, so maybe it's just something I will have to get used to. At first I thought I was imagining it, but the display picture has a funny sole too. Besides the sole issue, they seem to be great shoes. I am having issues with the elastic hurting the top of my foot, but my last pair of shoes were the Bloch pro-elastic.

Holes, Rips and Dirt!
Rating: 4
I have had these shoes before and love them. From my view, canvas slippers or split sole ballet shoes make my feet look more pointed. The only down side about these shoes are that they get dirty, rip, and hole very easily. And for some reason I turn better in canvas than leather. I hate leather slippers!

I have purchased three pairs so far. I love them. The comfort is amazing, and they are wide enough for my wide feet. Be sure to order large enough. I wear a 7 1/2 street shoe, but in this ballet shoe I wear a 9 or a 10.

I am on my second pair Sansha #1 pros and love them. When I jump I feel as light as a feather. The only thing I hate about them is the canvas rips easily and you have to buy a new pair because they will have a BIG hole in the front. I love them, I can't be any happier.

These shoes are comfortable and fit my feet perfectly. They allow me to point my toes much better than leather single-sole shoes. I have "flesh" color, which should be called "caucasian with a suntan." They match well with Capezio's "light toast" convertible tights.

Amazing shoe. Very nice and easy to dance in! I wish they had half sizes tho! I'm usually a 6 1/2 or 7 in street shoes and the 8N was a little bit baggy. But maybe my feet will grow or I'll shrink it in the washing machine haha.
GREAT buy for that price!

The first couple of classes I wore these, they were slightly stiff and uncomfortable, and baggy. Under my toes, there is a lump and is kind of uncomfortable. They loosened up though and it turns out that all I had to do was tighten the drawstring...doi. Since it fits better now, the lump isn't as noticeable but I would still get maybe one half size down next time.

A teacher at the professional company I dance at suggested I get these for class, and I was hesitant. Canvas shoes don't usually last very long on me, because my toes tear holes in the front. But these were inexpensive so I tried them. They were comfortable, flattering, and lasted quite a long time. Just be careful with sizing, because for me I had to use the fitting chart differently. I subtracted half a size from my normal street shoe size and followed the fitting instructions for that. Fabulous shoe! Buy and enjoy!

These are one of my favorite pair of canvas shoes. My absolute favorite pair are Bloch Proform but they sadly, don't sell them online. But back to Sansha, these are really nice shoes and they don't wear out easily. I go trough about two a year. The only reason why I go through two a year is because the stage where we perform our shows eats them up.

I've used leather ballet shoes all of my life, and they were always super uncomfortable. I then tried these, and they're amazing. They make my point look great, and they don't make your feet all sweaty. The only downside is they get dirty, but you can just throw them in the washer and they come out perfectly. However, DO NOT PUT THEM IN THE DRYER! They'll shrink. Just let them air dry, and they're good as new.

I like these shoes. They're nice and for the price, they are amazing! I have one small complaint and it's that there is the slightest amount of excess fabric but that is probably just my feet. Only after 3 1/2 months did they start receiving holes but I love these shoes so I have covered the holes with athletic tape. A very good shoe to start the dance year in.

I went to a drama camp where I would dance for about 3 hours a day 5 days a week. My friend gave me a pair of Bloch leather split-sole jazz shoes in the beginning because they were too small for her. I got these shoes for performance only, so I wore the jazz shoes for two weeks. During tech week we were required to wear our performance shoes, and I did not like these at all. They ran a bit small once I tied them, the inside pad bunched up underneath my toes with one day's use so it hurt to jump and land, and the cloth had holes on the outside after two days. I ended up switching back to my practice intended jazz shoes. I DO NOT recommend these.

Terrible shoes - I'll never buy from Sansha again. The top of the shoes are way too small, even though I bought them in a "M" width - and my feet are in between narrow and wide. Plus I've only worn them for a few hours all together, and they already look like crap! Ultimate Ballet Shoes = comfortable, beautiful, cruelty-free!

Not good on my feet
Rating: 2
The nice thing about these, are that you get a pointe shoe keyring and a little Sansha mesh bag to keep the slippers in. Now for the not so great: the canvas is really not durable and looks not that great. These are for people with long toes, probably high arch with narrow foot and not tapered toes. Basically, everything my feet are not. While they fit OK width wise there was so much baggy fabric on my toes because they are tapered (my feet). Plus, I didn't like how minuscule the sole on the ball and heel were. Not enough for my wide feet. Looked awful. If you have wide metatarsal area I like Grishko much better.

While these shoes have their pros and cons, I would have to say the pros outweigh the cons more than any other shoe I've tried. I love how the sole is "flush" making these shoes sinfully comfortable and the design is flattering on every foot (most of my ballet friends have worn these too). While I will admit that they wear down quickly, I don't mind since they are inexpensive and have allowed me to feel the floor more than I have ever seen. As far as the dirty appearance, just wash them in the laundry. I do it all the time and they look good as new. And they are better than all the bloch shoes I have tried, which fit like I should have the foot of an elephant and make a lump of my arch.

Beautiful shoe but wears out fast.
Rating: 3
Probably the most comfortable ballet shoe I've ever had. They make even the most awkward feet look beautiful and the canvas lets your foot breathe much better than leather. However, I go through two/three pairs a year because they wear out (holes on toes and interior sole weakens)and get dirty so easily, which I find bizarre since I only use them five or so hours a week. Which is nothing compared to other dancers I know.

Well, I tried these on at the store and they felt great except for the lumps under my toes. Way too uncomfortable to live with...so I didn't get them, but if they fix the lumps I'd love them!

I have been wearing these shoes for a while and think they are OK. I have a higher arch and whenever I go up, the elastic inside the shoe digs in. I don't know if this is just me, but it HURTS! They also get dirty pretty fast and look ugly. I like the way it makes my arch looks, but beauty does also come with pain!

I don't know if its just me, but when I wore the shoes in class I would slide around WAY too much. The soles are (to me) too small. Aside from that, the shoes are OK doing Barre work and what not.

OK, is anyone here familiar with that painting of a dancer's feet in 5th position, and her shoes are falling apart and duct taped together? Yeah, my old shoes looked just like that. I used to wear full sole leather shoes, and the sole was constantly coming apart from the shoe. I tend to wear my shoes until they're dead, and then keep wearing them awhile longer. So I was holding my shoes together with tape for awhile. I've never had that problem with these. They last a long time for a canvas shoe. They're flexible and comfortable, are pretty flattering, and the fact that they come in wide width is a huge plus for me. Yeah, they get dirty pretty fast, but hey, at this price you can always get a pair for class/rehearsal and a pair for performances. I will definitely be buying these again and again.

These shoes are required for my dance company, and after dancing in single sole leather slippers for years, I was relieved when we HAD to get these. They do, however, run small and take a few weeks to get used to because they don't stretch very easily, but this could just be my giant awkward feet! They seemed to work fine for the other dancers.

Tapered Feet

I really do like these shoes but I wouldn't suggest buying them if you have tapered feet or a low instep. They bunch up so badly, they can even interfere with turn out. They almost feel like foot diapers. If you have perfect feet, go for it. If not, I would advise you to pick something different.

As a dance major in college, I had these the entire time. They fit so comfortably, and they are canvas, so get over the dirty issue. They wash to look brand new. And this is after at least six hours of ballet a week. Great shoes, never stick, especially on marley floors.

These shoes are great. I dance ballet about 8 hours a week, and these have lasted four months so far, and are perfect for competition and recital. No matter what floor you're on, the grip the shoe has on the floor seems to remain the same. They haven't worn out yet like other reviewers said. Maybe they use them more often than I do. They really mold to your feet and look flattering on any foot type. Besides, they're so cheap, it's not a big deal to buy new ones.

These run a little small, but as far as quality goes, these are amazing. They look great on and compliment any style of foot. They're easy to turn in but still provide friction and they really mold to your feet and end up feeling like a second skin. They get dirty easily but it's not that visible on stage, and I dance in them about eight hours a week and they don't wear out if you take care of them.

These are a very comfy and pretty shoe. Only problem is, they fell apart after 5 wearings. If you want a nice clean shoe for a performance, go for it, but don't expect these to last very long. All the posts about washing them are irrelevant, because they won't last long enough to wash. I'll probably try these in the leather, because the fit is very good.

I just switched to these after Grishko and Russian Pointe both raised the prices on their flats. They fit comfortably, show off the feet decently well (RP is still best) and the color is pretty while it lasts. I got the light/ballet pink and it matches well with tights. They do get dirty very very quickly, but I'm told they wash up well. I was about to get the deal with the two pointe shoe key rings and a free pair of tights - all for $12! You can't beat that value. And the free tights were comfortable and pretty too. I'd definitely buy these again, although admittedly I'd still be sticking with the Russian Pointe Andantes if they were cheaper and easier to come by.

Buying these canvas slippers in white may not have been the best idea, but I don't regret it at all! They're unique and look very pretty on. If you are a size 7.5 street size like me, then definitely get an 8 - these slippers shrink in the washer. However, they are very comfortable and being my first pair of canvas slippers, (I've always stuck to leather) I was very pleased. I was skeptical about the arch, but it seems everyone else was right and they make your arch look beautiful. I recommend them, especially at this price.

Great shoes, but be a fair consumer...
Rating: 5
My son, who's a dancer, swears by these shoes - they're great. However, I'm disturbed by a few of the comments made here about getting fitted at a shop and then ordering online. I'm not a shop owner of any kind and love to buy stuff online, but the dance shops I've visited all seem to be independent, often small, businesses. They are well aware that the merchandise can be obtained less expensively online, and work hard to provide the element that you can't get on the Internet - a professional fitting. If we rely on these shops for fittings but don't compensate them for their service by buying the shoes, we are hurting them and, eventually, will drive them out of business. And we need them, right? So at least support this needed small business by buying the pair that fits from the shop that helped you find them. If you want to buy additional pairs online to save money, fine (I know I've done that), but think about what you're doing. Hardly anyone ever got rich being either a dancer OR a dance shop owner, so why shouldn't these two groups, who both need each other, support each other?

I have been wearing Sansha for 11 years now, and I am a forever fan. I will tell you that if you have very wide feet, to go get fitted at your nearest dance supply first and then order via mail. My feet have had injuries and I had to wear the Sansha Pro 1 leather. Your feet can change from year to year and so, you should get fitted on occasion. What I do is get fitted (I don't buy them at the shop) and then I order 2 pairs at a time to save money. Ballet_Teacher

I love these shoes, they hug my high arches beautifully, breathe well, the seamless bottoms are fantastic and last long for being canvas. However, I always cut away the gathered fabric on the inside under the ball of the foot, which is otherwise painful.

I have worn Sanshas for about four years, and was somewhat happy with them. I definitely liked them more than leather, because your feet could breath and feel the floor easier. My main complaint about these is that the material gets very bunchy at the ball of the foot, which makes it not as easy to use the floor and articulate your feet/toes, due to so much extra material placed in that area. Because of that reason, I switched to Capezio Cobra canvas ballet shoes. So far, I have been much happier with those. Also with Sanshas, they tend to swallow your feet a little, which does not show off your arch, and can make your feet look a lot worse than they actually are. They also get holes in them quite quick, but overall I think they are a fairly good shoe (but I think it just depends on your likings).

Sansha's "Pro" original canvas split-sole ballet slipper. The sole is fully hand stitched and thread does not appear on the outside of the shoe, so it will not wear out. This also means the sole is flush with the upper, so there is nothing to catch on the floor.
