Find your perfect half shoes

First steps in rhythmic gymnastics – how to choose the perfect half shoes?
Has your daughter just started her journey in rhythmic gymnastics? Wonderful! You're about to embark on an exciting adventure full of beauty, discipline, and athletic emotion. After the first training sessions, it’s time to think about proper training gear — and one of the most important pieces is the half shoes.
Why are half shoes so important?
Half shoes are an essential part of every gymnast's gear — whether beginner or advanced. They help with turns and provide better floor grip, translating into more precise and stable movements. Wearing them from the beginning helps a child adjust to the training surface and develop proper movement habits. Training regularly without half shoes can hinder technical progress and increase the risk of minor injuries — that’s why they’re a must-have from the start.
How often should they be replaced?
Kids who train several times a week can wear out their half shoes quickly — sometimes even monthly. That’s why it's worth choosing a model that combines comfort, durability, and style — like Lilulines half shoes.
What to look for when buying?
✔️ Material – flexible and breathable, allowing full movement.
✔️ Seams and finish – should not cause rubbing or pressure.
✔️ Fit – should hug the foot closely without being too tight or loose.
✔️ Size – don’t size up! They should fit perfectly now.
