Where to buy toddler ballet slippers?

I think I can get a leotard and tights at Target but I'm not sure about the shoes?  TIA

Re: Where to buy toddler ballet slippers?

  • I've seen the slippers there, too. I think payless sells them.
  • Target had slippers that look like ballet shoes.  Payless carries real ballet shoes.

  • Both Target and Wal-Mart have leotards, tights and ballet shoes.  The shoes are more like slippers and I didn't think they'd last long, so I got my DD's at Payless.

  • If it's for a dance class and not just for dress-up, I don't think the ones at Target will work for actual dancing, even for a toddler. They looked so bulky I thought DD would just trip over them.

    I got DD's leotard at Target - an XXS is a 2/3 and it fits her fine. She's on the edge between 2T and 3T in most clothes.

    This brings bad memories to mind!   We had to find 2 pairs and of course most stores only carry 1 of each size at a time.  We were having a hard time finding size 8.  My mom found one pair but we couldnt find the second.  I called the mall that is over an hour away and they said they have it.  We got there and it was the big girl size 8.  I specifically said itty bitty TODDLER size.  So she calls the store that is 2mins away and asks for the TODDLER size as well.  Yes they had a pair.  So I got the kids back in the van and drove the 2 mins (basically just through the huge mall parking lot) to the other store.  Got there and BAM big girl size 8.  I was FURIOUS!  So I had to pack the kids back up, unload them and go back into the mall to get the 8.5.  A tad too big but not too bad. 

    The lady looked at me and said "oh well at least its not busy like on a Saturday night"  I said "I dont care how busy everyone else is.  I have 3 kids I have had to buckle and unbuckle from car seats 3 times now because you and the other lady dont know what TODDLER size means."   She tried to make light of the situation but instead of me calming down I ordered her to give me her and the other stores Managers info so I could call and complain.  OH I was so mad.  It was cold and raining and I was tired of dragging the kids around.  

    Note to self...buy the d@mn shoes early online!
