Why the right choice matters Plus

Barefoot ballerinas are beautiful, light and comfortable – but only if they fit really well. It is with this type of footwear that the right choice is key. We have prepared a simple guide to help you choose ballerinas that are comfortable, don't fall off your heels and make you happy with every step.

How to measure your foot correctly Plus

Before you start choosing a specific model, we recommend measuring your foot accurately:

  • Measure yourself standing, ideally in the evening when your leg is slightly spread.
  • Stand with your heel against a wall and measure the distance from the wall to your longest toe.
  • Measure both feet and use the longer measurement.

Add a small extra size to the measured length – for ballerinas, 3-5 mm is usually enough. Thanks to the half sizes, there is no need to compromise.

Half sizes: the key to keeping ballerina flats from falling off Plus

One of the most common problems with ballerinas is the heel falling off. This is usually not caused by a bad cut, but by the size being too large.

Thanks to half sizes , we can fine-tune the size precisely so that:

  • ballerinas held on to their feet,
  • The heel remained in place,
  • The shoe was comfortable even during long walks.

The right size is essential – and this is doubly true for barefoot ballerinas.

However, the feeling of open-cut ballerinas cannot be compared to shoes with laces and they will always feel looser.

Three widths for different foot types Plus

Every foot is different. That's why we offer our barefoot ballerinas in three widths :

  • S – for slimmer feet and lower instep
  • N – the most universal option
  • W – for wider feet or higher instep

The correct width ensures that the foot does not float or push sideways in the shoe, while maintaining natural space for the toes.

Material and production Plus

All our barefoot ballerinas are:

  • made of quality leather,
  • honestly sewn,
  • produced here in Slavicin .

The leather gradually adapts to the foot, is breathable and, with proper care, will last a really long time. Each pair is created with an emphasis on detail, functionality and durability.

Four models, one principle Plus

The offer includes four different models of barefoot ballerinas . They differ in appearance and small design details, but they are all united by the same basis:

  • respect for the natural shape of the foot,
  • thin flexible sole,
  • zero drop,
  • emphasis on precise fit.

This allows you to choose a model according to style without having to compromise on comfort.

How do you know you've made the right choice? Plus

Correctly chosen barefoot ballerinas:

  • stays on the foot even when walking,
  • they don't slip off the heel,
  • does not press the toes or the instep,

If you are not sure about the size or width, we recommend that you consult with us and possibly visit one of our showrooms, where we will help you with your selection. With ballerinas, precision really pays off.
