Using the Hullachan Pro (H3) Pump Sizing Chart
Step 2: Using the Hullachan Pro (H3) Pump Sizing Chart
You should have two measurements, one for each foot.
If you haven't please read the 'Measure Your Feet' tab on how to do an accurate measurement.
Comparing Your Measurement to the Size Chart
Example: If your left foot is 217mm and your right foot is 220mm then you would use the shorter measurement of 217mm when using the size guide.
-
The guide suggests a size 1.5 for a foot length of 214mm
- The guide suggests a size 2 for a foot length of 218mm
We usually suggest choosing the size below the measurement for a nice close fit. So in this example the dancer would choose size 1.5.
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 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:
-
Pumps 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
-
Pumps naturally stretch up to a full size (or more) with wear – so let the pumps do the work rather than starting too large.

Please Note - Every dancer prefers their pumps 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 pump fitting can be difficult. Hence we only offer this sizing chart as a guide rather than a guaranteed fit.
