Product Description
Sansha's "Pro" original canvas split-sole ballet slipper. The sole is fully hand stitched and thread does not appear on the outside of the shoe, so it will not wear out. This also means the sole is flush with the upper, so there is nothing to catch on the floor. Elastic attached at heel.

 The shoe that won't die.... January 24, 2005

Sansha S1C still stands as the best all-around canvas ballet slipper. Though this has been somewhat jokingly christened 'the bedtime slipper,' for looseness off the foot, the line on working feet is very visible, especially after repeated use. Where Bloch and Capezio tend to require multiple fittings and testing of different styles- especially through mail order- Sansha styles, as long as they are purchased in the correct approximate widths and lengths, will mold to individual feet and stand for years with good care.
The only reservation I have about these shoes is the leather soles' capacity for holding onto everything they pass over for an extended period of time. If you dance in a meticulous studio, this is not an issue, but where a stray drop of soda or Gatorade is occassionally spilt, you may want to scuff the soles once a week. Washing does not seem to clean the leather as well as the canvas, and eventual buildup will impede turns.
Just what I needed September 5, 2005

Although I am not a professional ballet dancer (it has been some 15 years since I've had my last ballet class), recently I have decided that I needed some exercise, so I started to take ballet classes again. Consequently, I purchased the S1C Canvas slippers and I must say I do not regret it. The slippers are soft, delicate, and fit like a glove: a ballerina's "dream partner".
if just because they are so comfortable.. November 18, 2006

These are the most comfortable things I have ever worn on my feet; I bought them for gymnastics and I'm so happy that I did; They are so comfortable!But just in case you didn't know: the straps are only attached at the back of the slipper; So you have to sew them into the front- I'm assuming for proper fit; This is a bit annoying- coupled with the fact that there is no loop or area of fabric to sew them into without having to see your handy work through the front(no good if your terrible at sewing like me); And they soil easily;This should be expected of course(especially if they are white). Still, as my title suggests,they earn 5 stars and more because they truly are that comfortable; Especially when walking on carpet; I can't well explain why, because the shoes really have no padding; But they hug your feet and support your arch to an extent (I'm assuming these would not be as comfortable for flat footed people).The price is great and, if you are into ballet, what do you have to loose.

I got these earlier than expected and they are perfect! I wear size 7 in street shoes and usually get 6 1/2 in sandals, but they didn't have half-sizes. So I got a 7 and it fits perfectly. They are comfortable and look great on.
