Summer Factory Break: Key Dates & Shipping Info

Published by International Dance Shoes on 17th Jun 2025

It’s nearly time for our annual Summer Factory Break! While our talented production team takes a well-deserved rest, we want to make sure you're fully up to date on what this means for your orders.


Key Dates to Remember

Factory closes: Friday, 25th July
Factory reopens: Monday, 11th August

Orders placed before Sunday, 6th July are (with the exception of some of our special collections) going to be made and shipped before our factory closes. Orders placed closer to the break could likely still be shipped, but some may not be completed until after we reopen—when our refreshed and re-energised production team is back in action!


In-Stock Shoes: Still Available to Ship!

If you need something quickly during the break, don’t worry—our in-stock styles are here to help.

Shop from our Ready To Ship collection on our website.
These are available for immediate shipping during the break, while supplies last!

Stock can sell out quickly during this period, so don’t leave it too late.


We're Still Here to Help

Even while the factory is closed, our office team will still be around to:

  • Ship in-stock orders

  • Answer your questions

  • Offer shoe-fitting advice or order guidance

Office hours during the break will be 10am – 3pm (UK time).
You can reach us on +44(0)1908 319937 or email us at sales@ids-danceshoes.co.uk
