What Size Pointe Shoe Would I Wear?

I wear a womens size 7 in shoes.

My foot is 9 1/3 - 9 1/2 inches long.

I'd say I have narrow feet.

What size pointe shoe would I wear?

BY THE WAY - I'm not asking this because I'm buying Pointe Shoes. I don't even dance. I'm just curious. Thanks.

Update:

Ok, since they all run different, what size would I wear in

Capezio Aerial?

    Two people can wear the exact same street size and not wear the same pointe shoes. One might not even be able to get their foot in a pointe shoes while for the other it is a perfect fit..

    You need to know the right shank, box, heel, vamp, platform and profile for your foot along with the size and width. These things depend on things like your arch height and how strong it is, your foot flexibility and ankle strength along with things like the length of your toes and the overall shape of your foot. There is no way anyone could tell you what size you would wear from the information you have given. Professional fitters take about an hour per fitting to find the right shoe brand, model and size and they are professionals and have your foot right there to find the right fit for your foot. So, a Capezio Aerial might not fit your foot in any size or it may be the perfect shoe for you. As you don't dance and haven't built up the required foot and ankle strength, you would not be able to get up on the box of the shoe most likely. If you did, you could easily fall off and break an ankle.

    All pointe shoes come up in different sizes, so it would depend on what make you were to wear. For example I have Freed Studio professionals at the moment in which I wear a size 5EE which is the same as my normal outdoor size, the EE standing for the width (Widest value is EE)

    However when I had Freed Studio II I wore 4.5 ... It all depends :)
