International Dance Shoes — IDS — is a leading British dance-shoe brand best known for one thing above all: fit. Its huge range of widths and lasts makes it the brand we reach for when a dancer is hard to fit. Here’s who IDS suits and how it fits, from a team that fits it in person every week.
Who IDS is for
IDS is the go-to for dancers who struggle to find shoes that fit — narrow feet, wide feet, high insteps. Because so many styles come in multiple width fittings, there’s far more chance of a genuinely good fit than with a single-width brand.
How IDS fits
IDS uses UK sizing, and the widths are the key feature — the same length can come in several widths, so you match both to your foot. That’s exactly what solves a fit that’s the right length but the wrong width. See our fit & sizing guide and size chart, and if width is your issue, browse wide-fit dance shoes.
The IDS range
IDS covers Latin, Standard, practice and men’s styles at a professional level. Browse what we carry in International Dance Shoes (IDS).
Buying IDS in Canada
Wedance stocks IDS and fits it in person at our Ottawa and Montréal showrooms — the ideal way to dial in width as well as length. Hard to fit? Book a fitting and we’ll work through the width options with you.
