text: OK shoes but I wouldn't recommend for actual ballet class.  For around the house - yes, class - no.  They are canvas (as mentioned in description) so can not be wiped clean, but would probably go in the washer just fine.  Otherwise, I'm returning my pair because they run large.  My daughters feet measure not quite 6.5&#34; long so I ordered a 10 and they are just really big on her.
