text: I haven't worn Contemporas for years, but I thought I'd try a pair when I saw the price. Unfortunately, they run a little narrower than I remember and I had to send the C width shoes back.<br /><br />Some sizing feedback for those who don't live a dancewear store stocking this shoe in your size: the shoe length was true to sizing guidelines (subtract 2.5 from your street shoe size) - I wear a women's 11 and size 8.5 pointes were the correct length. If you wear a medium width but larger shoe size, I would recommend trying the D width instead of the C width.
