I might recommend a lyrical style dress, something like style 7799.- DDS Customer Service (07/10/2014)
1- don't buy these
2- you need to wear athletic shorts, a t-shirt, poodle socks(you'll understand when you start) and PROPER ghillies - Jujubee33 (10/02/2015)

Jackie 11/14/2013 Sault Ste. Marie, Mi, Usa Age: 18 to 24 I have had problems with sizing other ghillies and other dance shoes due to the width of my feet changing. By the recommendations of the site i should be in a 6 or 6.5 but I am wondering if I should order a 7 instead to compensate for width. Any help would be appreciated! Thanks
By going up a 1/2 size the shoe will get longer by 1/4 of an inch. Unfortunately this will not change the width of the shoe. Though with the leather it will naturally give a little with time.- DDS Customer Service (11/22/2013)

sizing for this item:
Women order 2?-3 sizes smaller than street size
Men order 1/2-1 size smaller than street size- DDS Customer Service (02/13/2013)
I am a Highland dancer/teacher/parent and have been wearing these ghillies exclusively for over 15 years. In my personal experience, I size down 4 size from street shoe to get my perfect fit, aka I wear a US women's 10 street shoe and a size 6 So Danca ghillie. This sizing has worked well for most of my students, although some prefer them a little tighter and go down 4.5 sizes from street shoe. Keep in mind that the leather is thinner and so they stretch more than most Highland ghillies. Hope that helps! - Emmyport (03/01/2013)

dance baby 02/06/2013 The worse thing in the world is to anticipate receiving your shoes and when you get them,they're too big or small.
Women order 2?-3 sizes smaller than street size

Pam 01/25/2013 I wear anywhere from and 8 to a 9, depending on the shoe. I tend to run wide, although rarely have to order a wide shoe. The recommenation for this this shoe is 2 1/2 -3 sizes less than your street size? I am hesitant to order a 6? Can you help?
I would suggest ordering 2.5 sizes smaller thank your street shoe size.

So if you're wearing an 8-9 (in US women's street shoes, I'm assuming?) and are a Highland dancer, I would recommend trying a 4-5 in the So Danca split sole ghillies. Hope that helps! - Emmyport (02/28/2013)
