We went into the shop and I explained to the woman that Evies feet had grown and wanted to know if she also needed some new tap shoes.
I told her what size feet she had and was promptly told that they "do not offer a fitting service", fair enough...
I then told her that she had size 8 shoes (I was told that they are US sizes) she then told me they were UK sizes and that she would sell me a size 8 and measured it up against one of Evies tap shoes and (surprise surprise) they were the same size.
I wasnt convinced, and as I couldnt be sure (or be arsed) I didnt measure the tap shoe against her new shoes in the shop.
I did measure them though when I got home and sure enough the new shoes are bigger, so I will go back on Tuesday.
Yesterday we did our food shop, so while we were in there I looked at trainers and wellies for Evie
We bought her two pairs of wellies (one each for home and pre school) and a pair of trainers ;o)

I like all the lovely design wellies you can buy now. I keep saying I'll have to get some myself as the park is still very muddy but I need to get to the shops as I have to try shoes on before I buy. All this US/UK sizing is confusing!
I like to try them on first too...
...the US also have different clothing sizes too (a size 16 here is a 12 there!).
I always found the service in the local dance shop really poor when my girls were little and at dance classes. It was as if they knew you needed them more than they needed you.
with the age of the internet now, you would think that they would be doing all that they can to keep you coming in.
