Pretty Ballerinas Australia · Sizing Guide
Find Your Best Fit
Pretty Ballerinas are designed with a neat, close fit. This quick guide will help you choose your size with confidence before you order.
How Pretty Usually Fits
Pretty Ballerinas often run smaller than standard Australian sizing.
If this is your first pair, the easiest place to start is with the shape of the shoe. Different styles can feel slightly different on the foot, especially through the toe.
Your Fit Starting Point
| Toe Shape | How it usually feels | What we recommend |
|---|---|---|
| 👠 Pointed toe | Closest fit through the front of the shoe | Usually go up 1 size |
| 🩰 Round toe | Neat and feminine, with slightly more room | Usually go up ½ size |
| ⬜ Square toe | Often the most forgiving through the toe box |
Try your usual size or ½ size up for a roomier feel |
Our general advice: If you're deciding between two sizes, we usually recommend choosing the larger one for a more comfortable fit from the start.
Still deciding? You're not locked in.

✦ "Estimated Pretty size" is an estimate based on the fitted nature of our last — not a guarantee. Pointed styles may need the larger end of the range; square toe styles may suit the lower end.
First pair of Pretty Ballerinas? If you're unsure between two sizes, start with the larger one — especially in pointed styles or if you usually need a little extra room.
Small Details That Make a Difference
Wider feet
A broader foot usually feels more comfortable with extra room, especially in neater silhouettes.
Prefer a close fit?
If you like shoes to feel very fitted from the start, you may stay closer to your usual size in softer or more forgiving styles.
Leather softens
Our leathers will mould gently to your foot with wear, but they will not stretch significantly in length.
Half sizes help
Whenever half sizes are available, they are often the easiest way to get that elegant, glove-like feel.
Pointed styles feel neater
If you are choosing a pointed silhouette for the first time, err on the side of a little more room.
