Main Material

Full-sole demi-pointe shoes are perfect for beginner ballet dancers. The full sole offers excellent foot support to keep the ankle from rolling. This makes learning ballet safer. 
Always ask your teacher for advice when choosing your ballet shoes.

Why wear full-sole demi-pointe shoes?

The choice of leather or canvas dance shoes often depends on your teacher. We’ve redesigned our dance demi-pointe shoes so they are made from chrome-free leather. Leather is durable and lasts longer. To care for your shoes, simply wipe them clean with a damp cloth. 
The leather sole guarantees durability.

Why choose leather dance shoes?

The dance shoes have a drawstring so you can adjust them to better fit your feet.
Remember to pull each side of the cord at the same time to avoid losing the end.
Once you get the fit you want, trim the cord and tuck it inside your shoes. Remember to tuck it in every time you wear them!

What are the drawstrings for?

When trying the shoes on, your toes should stay in place without feeling too pinched. They should not be scrunched together or curled. However, you should feel supported.
When choosing leather shoes, opt for one size down if you have narrow feet. Leather tends to stretch and will adapt to fit your feet over time. To check the size of the shoe, simply go up and down on your toes a few times.

Choosing the right size

Ballet

The split sole and stretchy fabric allow for full foot movement.

The adjustable elastic straps are stitched across the shoe to highlight the instep.

These canvas, split-sole, demi-pointe shoes are designed for intermediate and advanced dancers with good mastery of ballet technique. The split sole makes them more flexible along the arch for proper foot movement. The stretchy fabric enhances the lines of the foot and instep.
Get your teacher’s recommendation before purchasing your dance shoes.

Why wear split-sole demi-pointe shoes?

If you’re looking for demi-pointe shoes that fit the shape of your foot, opt for stretch canvas. This stretchy fabric allows for proper foot movement and highlights the instep. These stretch canvas, split-sole, demi-pointe shoes can be washed by hand and should be line dried.
The split soles are made of leather for durability.

Why choose stretch demi-pointe shoes?

We listened to your feedback: 
These shoes feature a drawstring to help you get a better fit in the shoe. Tie and cut this drawstring once you get the fit you want. Then slip the end inside the shoes each time you wear them. Tip: You can also secure the end to the inside of the upper with a piece of medical tape.

Kids and adults should choose their demi-pointe shoes according to their skill level. In general, beginners start with full-sole demi-pointe shoes before switching to split-sole demi-pointes. The difference between girls/women’s shoes and boys/men’s shoes is the colours. Pink and salmon options are recommended for female dancers while white and black are recommended for male dancers.

Are there different ballet shoes for men, women, boys, and girls?

When choosing your ballet shoes, your feet should feel comfortable and not constrained.
To check your size, stand up and go up and down on the demi-pointes several times to see how your toes feel.If you have narrow feet, opt for your normal size. If your feet are normal or wide, choose one size larger than normal.

Intensity

Observations of children aged 10 months to 4 years participating in Gym 101 classes with and without shoes showed that wearing Domyos Babylight Booties provided advantages in motor skill development over being barefoot. Better traction helps improve balance and coordination and protects feet.

Domyos Babylight Booties are approved by a physiotherapist:

Regular physical activity from a very young age is beneficial for your child’s physical and mental development. Learning healthy habits early on can help limit health problems later in life. Doing a group physical activity also supports your child’s social integration and personal development.

The benefits of physical activity at a young age:

What are the physical benefits?
- Foster development of basic physical abilities (psychomotor development)
- Support healthy growth
- Foster healthy habits

What are the mental benefits?
- Help build self-confidence
- Facilitate social integration
- Support personal development

Physical and mental benefits:

Domyos booties are designed to be worn indoors on fairly soft floors. Slip them on without socks for optimal contact with the ground. The nerves on the bottom of the feet “feel” the floor, helping children find their balance.

Tips for use:

Walking barefoot helps babies recognize tactile sensations. The nerves in the sole help babies learn where to place their weight and stay balanced. Domyos booties are wide and flexible, allowing your baby’s feet to grow and become stronger, unrestricted, while also protecting them from the cold and dangerous surfaces. All our baby shoes are specifically designed for babies’ feet.

About children’s feet:

What is Gym 101 for toddlers? 
Designed for children aged 10 months to 6 years, Gym 101 consists of fun gym activities on obstacle courses with equipment specially designed for children.
About Gym 101
Gym 101 helps children develop their motor skills through different exercises and movements. 
It is an introduction to all sports.

The sport:

Baby Gym promotes psychomotor development in children, especially motor skills and sensations, coordination, and balance. Balancing on beams, jumping, rolling, and climbing help your child develop autonomy and confidence.

Benefits:

Your child needs to be comfortable in their clothing, able to take off a layer if needed, and not have to pull up their pants every five minutes! Choose an outfit that is appropriate for the temperature: Soft-knit T-shirt, shorts, or pants and a warm-up jacket or tracksuit. Finally, to avoid slipping, a pair of Domyos Babylight Booties!

What to wear:

Children grow fast! And their feet grow just as fast: making sure they’re wearing the right size shoes is very important. The wrong size can hinder their movement or hurt their ankles and toes. Shoes that are too big can affect their gait and cause blisters. Between the ages of 1 and 2, children’s feet grow about one shoe size every three to four months. Remember to regularly check their shoe size.

What is Gym 101?
Gym 101 consists in doing fun gym activities on obstacle courses with specially designed equipment for children, with gym teachers leading the activities. These courses include different apparatuses built to be safe for very young children (beams, steps, sloped ramps, parallel bars, tunnels, rollers, and more) so they can climb, slide, jump, balance, and more. Gym 101 can be practiced from 10 months to 6 years.

What are the benefits of Gym 101?
Gym 101 promotes psychomotor development in young children, especially the development of motor skills, coordination, and balance. Balancing on beams, jumping, rolling, and climbing help your child develop autonomy and confidence.

What should your child wear for Gym 101?
A comfortable seasonal outfit: Soft-knit T-shirt, shorts, or pants and a warm-up jacket or tracksuit. And lastly, to avoid slipping on the gym equipment, a pair of Domyos booties.

How to choose your size
A proper fit is extremely important: a smaller or larger size (even by 5 mm/0.2”) is not advisable. Shoes that are too small can injure the ankle and toes or rub the skin, while shoes that are too big can affect the child’s gait and cause blisters. Between the ages of 1 and 2, children’s feet grow about one shoe size every three to four months. Remember to regularly check their shoe size.

Full soles are recommended for ballet beginners of all ages. They support the foot to prevent the ankles from rolling.
A full sole makes learning ballet easier. However, you should always follow your teacher’s recommendations.

The choice of leather or fabric usually depends on your teacher.
However, it’s also a matter of comfort and preference. Canvas demi-pointes can be washed by hand and hung to dry to keep them in good condition. The leather sole ensures product durability.

Why choose canvas dance shoes?

The drawstring can be adjusted for a better fit. 
Remember to pull both sides of the drawstring at the same time to avoid losing the ends. 
Once you get the fit you want, tie the drawstrings and cut off any excess, tucking the ends into your shoes.
Remember to do this every time you wear them!

When choosing your shoes, remember that your toes must be supported, not compressed! Your toes should be comfortable in the slipper and not feel compressed.However, you should feel supported. For canvas slippers, we recommend choosing your usual shoe size. To check it's the right size, stand up and go up and down on the demi-pointes several times to see how your toes feel.

For use on cold, hard floors during school sports or low-impact gymnastics, opt for canvas shoes with insulating soles. Artistic gymnastics shoes are ideal for extra comfort.
For artistic gymnastics, you need to be able to feel the floor or apparatus underneath your feet. This is why gym shoes with a supple microfibre sole are best.
For rhythmic gymnastics, toe shoes are the best option.

Which of the three models is right for you?

Many gymnasts practise artistic gymnastics in bare feet to be more comfortable and feel the floor more easily.
However, it is a good idea to get used to wearing gym shoes from a young age. Hygiene is the number one reason for this.
Grip is another: gym shoes will not slip, unlike socks.
Gym shoes will also prevent your child from developing Sever's disease, which occurs as children are growing.

Why wear artistic gymnastics shoes?

Because gymnasts’ feet suffer repeated impacts with no cushioning, micro injuries can form in the heel, leading to pain that prevents them from training. 
This issue appears as children are growing, but it is not serious and will go away if they rest. 
The best way to prevent Sever's disease is to wear gym shoes with a heel protector that will cushion landings and prevent the disease from occurring in the first place.
