text: Sizing is not just too large but unpredictable.  Manufacturing is probably to blame!  I ordered 2 sizes down as suggested by other reviewers, but the ballet slippers were still too large --greatly.  Also, I ordered two pairs and the pairs were quite different in size.  My guess is that these are just shoddily made with little attention to maintaining the size.  I would avoid these.  I am returning to my usual brand.
