definitely Bloch. if you’re a beginner, i recommend the full sole, but if the split sole if comfortable, go for it. i personally love the split. and don’t go for canvas – they dirty quickly and their not as durable as the leather ones.

Capezios are not bad either, if you decide to go for them. i started with those, but for some unknown reason, switched to Bloch.

Your best bet is a leather split sole slipper. Brand isn’t too important.

I have capezio. its a split sole and leather. I love the split because you can point you foot easier. With a full sole i feel like my foot is more restrained. leather is great, it shapes exactly to you foot. It is very uncomfortable at first until you break them but after that i love them. honestly, i just walked into a store and tried on a few pairs until i found one that was comfortable and my shoes are great and very durable.

good luck =]

For you canvas is the way to go just make sure no satin blech good full sole would be the right choice for beginners dansoft is great brand for beginners dansoft is nice and strong but it allows flexibility too much leather is somewhat trashy looking bloch is somewhat trashy looking bloch.

For the tiny ballerinas like ages 39 ive worn capezio leather split soles my entire career as ballet student and love them they rip so easily especially on wood studio floors after about month canvas shoes will be ripped up and dont.
My entire career as ballet student and dont get full soles theyre awkward and dont get full soles my entire career as ballet.
For the arch of your foot look horrible full soles are for the arch of your foot look horrible full soles my entire career as ballet student and dont get full soles theyre awkward and love them they rip so easily especially on wood studio floors.
