Bailey Slipper Shop was founded in 1929 as a family shoe store in Buffalo, New York. Prompted by the only local dance instructor, Bailey Slipper Shop began stocking a limited supply of dance footwear. Bailey Slipper Shop’s involvement grew as the number of area dance schools increased through the years. Along with the original store on Bailey Avenue in Buffalo, additional stores were added in Rochester, Kenmore, and Cheektowaga, New York. In 1999, our Bailey Avenue Store was moved to a larger facility on Main Street in Clarence, where it is currently located.
Throughout the United States and Canada, generations of dancers have grown up trusting the Bailey Slipper Shop’s reputation for quality products and excellent service. We take pride in catering to customers all over the world through our Online Internet Store. Our customers always come first, no matter where they are located.
Since 1929, Bailey Slipper Shop has been providing dancers with their “tools of the trade.” From beginner to professional - first ballet slipper to first pointe shoe! Attention to detail combined with expertise and dedication to the customer is the reason why Bailey Slipper Shop has been the dance instructor’s first choice.
One of Bailey’s featured shoes is called the DOLLY. The Dolly is a Bailey Slipper Shop design that incorporates super soft leather uppers, full lining and a cushion insole for comfort. It has leather soles and a wider 1 ¼ inch heel with a leather lift for secure tap attachment and excellent sound, as well as a special self locking slide buckle for convenience. Don’t be fooled by imitations. Buy the one and only Dolly!
