When looking for Irish Dance Shoes, keep in mind that the sizes marked are usually marked in Irish shoe sizes and not American shoe sizes. Irish shoe sizes are approximately 1.5-2.5 sizes below your regular America shoe size. Example: 6.5 American shoe, 4.5 Irish shoe. Be sure to see the manufacturers sizing charts for better guidance.
