Having bought International Dance Shoes for many years, and been extremely satisfied in the past, I ordered another 2 pairs of a style I had purchased three times previously, in a regular size 8 as usual. When they arrived I found that the sizing had been altered, and what had fitted perfectly in the past was now shorter and narrower at the ends of my toes. I contacted the company and was informed that they had indeed resized the shoes, and if they were now too small, I would need to order a bespoke size 8.5 (or perhaps a size 9), at the increased cost of a bespoke shoe, with no possibility of trying a pair to see if they might fit, and with no possibility of a refund if they don't.
