sdancer 02/01/2014 My feet are about 3.5 inches wide at the metatarsels and then then taper down. What width of shoe should I get? Also I wear a size 8 in street shoes and that leaves a little room so my " true size" is about 7.5. Would a size 5 fit about right?
Unfortunately, sizing for pointe shoes require a proper fitting inside a dance store. Although the suggested sizing is for women to order 3 sizes down from their street shoe size, other factors such as the arch, foot strength and even toe pad thickness can alter the size you would need in any pointe shoe.- DDS Customer Service (02/24/2014)

hana 05/03/2013 i have high arches
Unfortunately you cannot choose the box size in this shoe like you can in a Gaynor Minden. A #4 in a Gaynor is a broad & square box, whereas this shoe only comes in a slightly tapered box. The box in this shoe will be slightly more narrow than what you are used to.- DDS Customer Service (05/06/2013)

Kittycat 02/06/2013 I take a #4 box size in Gaynor Minden. But my width is medium. Im wondering if these shoes would have my box size? Also my street shoe size is 8. And I have a medium to high arch. Also my foot shape is greek type. high vamp.Im wondering what size Grishkos I should take and which Grishko?
We do offer the Gaynor Minden Pointe shoe in a #4 box with a Medium width. These shoes do run a bit small, so we recommend ordering 1 to 1 1/2 sizes bigger than your street shoe size. You would want to order them in a 9 or 9.5.
If you have a medium to high arch, we recommend going with a deep vamp.- DDS Customer Service (02/06/2013)
