ORZA Pro® 2.0 Ballet Shoe Men's White Canvas
ORZA sizing
If you’ve ever ordered ballet shoes online and had no idea what size to get — you’re not alone. Most ballet brands run 2 or more sizes smaller than a street shoe, making sizing confusing and frustrating. At ORZA, we kept it simple: we run true to your US street shoe size. If you wear a size 8 sneaker, you order a size 8 ORZA.
Choose your fit
Not sure how snug you want your shoe? Here’s a simple guide:
• Street shoe size — a standard, true-to-size fit. This is where most dancers start.
• Half size down — for dancers who prefer an exceptionally snug fit, with the shoe hugging every contour of the foot.
• Half size up — a more relaxed, comfortable fit. Great for class, rehearsal, and longer days in the studio.
Width
The ORZA Pro® 2.0 comes in three
widths — narrow, medium, and wide. Width is independent of length size, so choose the
width that best reflects your foot shape.
Between sizes?
Order both — returns and exchanges
are always free. There’s no risk in trying.

ballerina and co-founder of ORZA — is happy to help you find your perfect fit.

I am absolutely in love with these shoes! They are the most comfortable ballet flats you could ever wear and support you while you’re dancing! And I haven’t seen anybody taking about this but they make your arches look 10x better! I am in love! Never going back!

You know that feeling at the end of a long class — when your heels are screaming, and your feet just want a break? That’s not a you problem. That’s a shoe problem.
Ballet shoes haven’t changed in over a hundred years. Seth Orza danced through that reality at New York City Ballet — until a foot injury nearly ended his career. He couldn’t find a shoe that helped, so he built one.
The Orza Pro® 2.0 looks exactly like the ballet shoe you’ve always worn. Inside, everything is different.
Popular sizes and colorways sell out fast — if your size is showing, grab it. And if they’re not quite right, returns are free.
Reintroducing the ballet shoe. Finally done right.
Product Details
• Better stability means cleaner turns.
• Real cushioning means more explosive jumps.
• Metatarsal support means you can push through a full day of rehearsal and still have something left.
• A fit so precise it disappears — leaving nothing but beautiful lines.
Most dancers notice the difference in their first class. After that, there’s no going back.

- ASAdrian S.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars3 months agoThe white version is too narrow
This is my 12th pair of Orza, so I know my Orza well. I have loved them all before.
I normally get size 13 W. However, there is something off with the width of the white colorway. The width feels narrower compare to the other colors. So I bought the 13.5 W hoping it would feel better but still feels tight. So now this is my 3rd pair of white colorway I got in size 14 W (a whole size up). I still feel there's something off with the production batch of the white colorways in Orza Pro 2.0.

The Orza Team - MBMark-David B.Verified ReviewerRated 5 out of 5 stars6 months agoPain Free Dancing
After hearing about Orza Pro for the past several years, I finally decided to give them a try for a full length production of Cinderella that I was performing .
After the first performance, I realized that my usual aches and pains that I normally have in my hips and back weren’t present. With the role that I was dancing having a lot of jumping and partnering, all the while on a unsprung floor, I was perplexed as to how well my body was doing. It wasn’t until the fourth day in a row of running the full ballet that I realized that my well being was due to switching to these shoes with the shock absorption that they provided.
On top of the physical benefits to my body of switching to these shoes full time, for both my rehearsals and performances, they are also some of the most well constructed. I have worn almost every brand of mens flat shoes over the course of my career and I can confirm that these are the most durable that I have ever worn.
I don’t see myself using any other shoes for the remainder of my career and I couldn’t recommend the Orza Pro enough to any student or professional dancer. A true “five star” product and the most innovative piece of equipment to come to the ballet world in a long time.

Wow, what an absolutely incredible review! Thank you so much for sharing your experience with the ORZA Pro 2.0 during your production of Cinderella. As a professional dancer, your feedback means everything to us. We are thrilled to hear that our shoes made such a significant difference in your physical well-being - to know that you didn't experience your usual aches and pains in your hips and back, especially while performing such a demanding role with lots of jumping and partnering on an unsprung floor, is exactly what we hoped to achieve with our shock absorption technology.
It's wonderful to hear that you've found them to be the most durable men's flats you've worn throughout your career, and that you're planning to use them for both rehearsals and performances going forward. To be called "the most innovative piece of equipment to come to the ballet world in a long time" is truly the highest compliment we could receive!
Happy Dancing! :)
The Orza Team - MCMichael C.Rated 5 out of 5 stars9 months agoMichael Caye Review
I am here to send a review on the Orza Pros. While it took about 2 weeks to break them in, but after the break in process they changed my dancing in many ways. After my ankle injury the heel in the back of the shoe really gives a lot of cushion for jumps as well as makes you turn out the correct way. I feel more engaged in my muscles due to the shape of the shoe-and you are not able to cheat your turn out, making your ankles not hurt. As well as the sole of the shoe is great for turning. Not too slippery, but I get more turns in with less force and am more on balance. The shape of my foot also looks really nice in shoes, and are very form fitting and gives my foot a great shape. I highly recommend these shoes and would definitely keep getting more pairs.
