Not sure of your Gaynor Minden size?
Our Size Conversion Chart is one of the most accurate available.
You'll find ribbons & elastics (pre-cut, by-the-roll, and support), as well as all the other stuff you need for class, rehearsal, and performance in the Dance Accessories Section.
Please Note: Because the possible size, shape, and fit combinations are so extensive (nearly 3,000 standard combinations), and because the shoes last so long, we caution all first-time wearers (and all dancers changing size) to be custom-fit by a professional.
Gaynor Minden publishes a 30-page manual to help professionals fit you properly into your correct shoe.
Although we will do our very best to fit you based on our experience and expertise and on the information you provide, we cannot guarantee an exact fit without having your actual feet in our shop.
Gaynor Minden's sizing runs about 1/2 to 1 full size up from US street shoe size.
For example, a Gaynor size 6 will probably fit a US street shoe size 5 or 5-1/2.
These shoes should not be fitted tight.
The specially lined satin does not stretch out nearly as much as conventionally-lined satin shoes.
A small, 1/4-inch pinch at the highest part of the heel, near the drawstring-casing, is correct.
If you are already fitted, please provide your current Gaynor Minden size & configuration when you order.
Note: prices and availability are subject to change without notice.
Gaynor Sizing Explained
We've tried to simplify it all as much as possible - you can review a great deal of very detailed information about Gaynor Minden's pointe shoes on these pages:

Size Availability - lists the standard Size/Width/Box combinations available from Gaynor Minden
Gaynor Minden 'Regular Fit'
Description: Arguably the most unique pointe shoe available today.
Built on an elastomeric platform, these shoes do not 'break-in' - they may last 3 to 5 times longer than the typical 'paste-constructed' shoes, and you will very probably wear-out the toe-tip satin long before you wear-out the shank.
The shoe is highly customizable, with an incredible (and sometimes confusing) variety of options in size, width, box-shape, shank-hardness, vamp-depth, and heel-height.
Satin only.
Available in half sizes.
Available in Regular-Vamp or Deep-Vamp only.
Available with Low-Heel (limited availability), Regular-Heel, or High-Heel only.
Available size range: Gaynor Minden size 4 thru 12.5
Note: not all widths, box shapes, or shanks available in all sizes - available combination range may vary.
