    Try Dance Direct- but it might be a good idea to get fitted properly first with a pair she likes. What ones does she have at the moment? Danceworld stocks Bloch and Gamba so has she tried the other brand? They might also stock others as I haven't been to them in a while.

    Grishko online are very reasonable.

    hey thanks for that, ye i think she is getting a pair from dance direct, She is currently using the Bloch but as she has wide feet some retails don't stock the wide fittting shoes.

    so once again thanks for the help

    Dance City in Limerick also stock Bloch, but it's roughly the same price. Dance Direct is probably your best bet.

    Glad I could help! :cool:
