Using the Hullachan Boys Reel Prolite - Boys' Reel Shoe Sizing Chart

Step 2: Check the Size Chart

Go to the product page of the reel shoes you’re interested in and open the Sizing tab (under the product photos).

• Look for the foot length closest to your measurement

• It probably won’t be exact – choose the nearest option

Example

If your smaller foot measures 217mm and you want to buy the Hullachan Boys Reel Prolite:

• Size 3 suggests a foot length of 215mm

• Size 3.5 suggests a foot length of 220mm

We usually suggest choosing the size below the measurement for a nice close fit. So in this example the dancer would choose size 3. 

However, some dancers may need to adjust the suggested size. If the dancer has narrow or wide feet, SENs or is a championship level then you should consider adjusting the size as below.

• Wider feet / high instep → go up half a size. If the foot is very wide, you may need to go up a full size. (If you’ve chosen a wide-fit model, then half a size extra is usually enough.)

• Dancers with SEN considerations → we recommend going up half a size for extra comfort.

• Narrow feet → often benefit from going down half a size.

• Advanced dancers → usually prefer their pumps or reel shoes very tight for extra control and to achieve an excellent profile when pointing. Go down half a size or possibly a full size for extra tightness. Don't forget our suggested size already aims to have your toes slightly curled so don't over do it with the size drop. You can risk long term damage your feet and toes if you always buy extra small.

A Word of Caution: Don’t Buy Too Large

It may seem like a safe option to order bigger, but in reality it’s a false economy:

• Boys' Reel shoes that are too big are difficult to dance in

• They won’t show a dancer’s point properly

• They can even be a trip hazard

• Boys' Reel shoes naturally stretch up to a full size (or more) with wear – so let the reel shoes do the work rather than starting too large

Please Note - Every dancer prefers their boys' reel shoes to fit in a certain way. Some like them extra tight, others with a little room. Combine this with the fact that everyone's feet are unique in terms of width, length, arch type and height and you can see why boys' reel fitting can be difficult. Hence we only offer this sizing chart as a guide rather than a guaranteed fit.
