Pointe Shoe Fitting

​

JDB Policy:

We only fit dancers who have been given the go-ahead by their ballet teacher to purchase their first pair of ballet shoes or a replacement. We do not take walk-in's and do not fit inexperienced dancers.​​


Individual appointment

  • All individual appointments at JDB are free of charge.

  • For new pointe dancers: expect a 45-50 min. fitting. More details are on the booking form. Please book your appointment at least 2 weeks before you start your first pointe class. This will allow us to order your shoes (if need be) and have them in on time for you to start. Keep in mind that you may need to return once your new shoes have arrived to ensure proper fitting.

  • ​For returning customers or experienced dancers:  please do not book an appointment when your shoes are dead. ​We strongly recommend booking at least 2 weeks before you need new shoes. The last thing we want is for you to walk out with no shoes!

  •  All dancers: remember to bring your old shoes and padding with you and avoid wearing large pants or long skirts as we need to see your legs during the fitting. Tights are ideal.

  • If you simply need a replacement of the exact shoes you've been wearing, please first email Jackie (2 weeks in advance) to make sure your shoes are in stock. Sometimes it takes up to 4 weeks for specific shoes to come in. We are happy to ship.

  • You do not need a fitting for a replacement unless you've been having any issues or difficulties. Please specify on the booking form and remember to bring your old shoes.

  • All dancers: please note that we do not carry shoes smaller than 3.5. Typically pointe shoes are sized 1 to 2 1/2 sizes smaller than your street shoe size. Shoes smaller than 3.5 will have to be a special order and may take 2-4 weeks to arrive.

​

Group fittings and on-site fittings (VT/NH)

  • We are happy to take group fitting of no more than 4 dancers at a time.​
