What are full sole jazz shoes?
A full sole jazz shoe has a continuous rubber sole. The full sole helps to build up strength and muscle in your foot. This style is more structured and doesn’t allow for much flexibility, giving more of a heavier look than a split sole jazz shoe.
Why do jazz shoes hurt?

What is the difference between jazz shoes and ballet shoes?
Jazz shoes are similar to a ballet shoe because they feature a flexible sole, but they usually have a small rubber heel. They are typically used in a jazz class to help to reduce friction beneath the foot, which is especially useful when performing pirouettes.
Should I get split sole or full sole ballet shoes?
It’s important to start out on split soles because they will offer support and help to strengthen your feet as you learn to dance. Full sole ballet shoes have a complete sole that runs fully down the base (the underside) of the shoe.
Should you size up or down in jazz shoes?
Girls should start 1.5 -2 sizes larger than their regular street shoe. Boys should start 2 – 2.5 sizes larger than their regular street shoe size. The shoes should feel snug with your toes flat and near the end of the shoe. The shoe will mold to your foot and leather styled shoes will stretch a half size with wear.
How do you make jazz shoes not hurt?
Spray rubbing alcohol on the inside of the parts of the shoe that are a bit uncomfortable. The alcohol will soften the shoe without damaging it and the shoe will stretch to fit your foot as you wear them. Heat the inside of the shoe with a hair dryer before wearing. Wear them for a few minutes with thick wool socks.
