The following is an online guide regarding the following brands of Irish dance shoes: Kwikstep, Ritestep, and asteprite. This guide was written as a tool which provides the shoe measurements for each of these brands of shoes. Irish dance shoes sizes, like other types of shoes, vary according to the manufacturer and brand. This gudie provides the measurements for each size of shoe in order to help prospective buyers purchase the correct size.

As with other leather shoes, please keep in mind that the shoes will naturally stretch approximately 1/2 size through normal use and that Irish dance shoes should fit much more snuggly than other types of shoes. Unlike other types of shoes, Irish dance shoes should fit to the end of the toes and allow the shoes to conform to your feet for the best fit. Also, if you are purchasing shoes for a younger child, please take the time to measure the child's feet as they are prone to growing unexpectedly! The easiest way to measure the dancer's foot is by having the dancer step on a ruler or yardstick and then measuring to the closest 1/8th inch.
