Ciao Bella...I believe they're TTS....

thanks pp. As many of the posts I am reading are a bit dated..any recommendations on online sites? I really would like a cute pair of ballerina flats...

 

[Zarina]

No, they aren't tts. I go up a full size in my ballet flats. Maybe half a size would be enough, but I like to be able to stretch my toes a bit Actually they are very adjustable thanks to the lace. Since the leather is very soft it is important not to take them too small as the big toe will make a unflattering bulging if it is too tight.

I bought my last pair on www.mytheresa.com

oh...mine are TTS tough...Hmmm...
I guess if you dont know your sizing yet in Repettos,then i dont think you should buy them online...you should try them on which size is the most comfortable for you

 

[iSpot]

^True, I also go up 1 size ...

iSpot: where did you buy your red ones?

 

[quimby]

I go up 1/2 to 1 full size on them, too.

Anthropologie had some styles on sale as of a few days ago.

i just tried on mine just to make sure(I only have 2 pairs),the gold are TTS to me(plain gold),very comfy,but another pair which i rarely use,a pink suede with patent are a bit snug(same size as the gold)...so i guess i should buy at least half a size bigger next time,because obviously in general,based on what most people here,they run small

Wow...iSpot... and straight to the patent red ones! FABULOUS!

Ciao!

I think the sizing depends a bit on what fabric you get. Leather stretches a bit (obviously not to the extent that it's noticeable) and it's probably good enough to go up 1/2 size. For my leather zizis, i forgot to go up a size, but it still fits me even if I wear winter socks. I remember when buying leather ballet slippers (the actual dancing ones), they said it was better to get it a bit smaller than a bit bigger.

Ciao!

I have the black patent, and the patent is the most narrow of them. I would definitely recommend you to go a full size up if you are buying the patent as it wouldn't stretch.

i am ok in the usual leather and have a 38.5 in my colette ones. however my patent ones and all the other new ones are 39 and much better!!
i would go up at least 1/2 size

My old black ones got ruined (I will never ever make the mistake again to wear my Repetto flats in a Club) and today I wanted to get new ones but they didn't have them in my size. So, now I have to wait until the end of September. Which, I guess isn't that long but still.
Anyway, I am really wanting some jazz shoes right now, and I've never tried them on, probably should next time, but are Zizi's worth their money or should I just go into a dance speciality store and buy some there, probably a lot cheaper?

 

[StellaMare]

^^ As much as I love Repetto, I'd recommend you to get some from a dance speciality store. They are a lot cheaper but the quality is equal.

 

[elfenkind]

Yeah, I thought about it myself and I think I will just stay with Repetto flats and buy normal jazz shoes and not Zizi's just because "real" ones are probably a lot cheaper. Thank you!

 

[Zarina]

^But be aware if the "real" ones are leather inside - many of them aren't.

 

[leyla m.]

but repettos are official dance shoes that went into producing "proper" shoes.
i did all my dance lessons in repettos when i was a child
