Thank you, thank you everyone!
cos the school charges $220 for a pair, so thinking I should get them better from outsiders as you said they only cost around 1/2 price!!!
Thank you all so much for the information!!!
by the way, which shop provides the better quality of shoes? any idea??
Thanks again!!!

i think you should buy the ballet shoes at your school.
i heard a real story about a pair of ballet shoes costed several thousand dollars....
the teacher asked the mother to buy a new pair of soft shoes for exam - the mother did not buy the shoes from the school before, so that her daughter's shoes looked different from other students' shoes.
as her daughter's existing shoes are very new, and the shoes sold at the school did not fit her daughter's feet well, the mother refused to do so.
nightmare came. the teacher picked on her daughter every class, criticizing her and made her very upset.
the mother was so angry that she immediately switched to another school. she had already paid exam fee and mock exam fee, and what worse was that this ballet school required students to pay 3 months school fees in advance.
the mother ended up losing several thousand dollars of exam fees and school fees over a pair of ballet shoes.
although not all ballet schools are as bad as that one, just buy at the school. it is one way for ballet schools to earn money. the school might not be happy if you buy elsewhere.
