Pointe Shoes

The Stellar is perfect for the lower profile foot and enables the dancer to get over the platform, while fully articulating her feet. Suffolk’s patented design is used in the Stellar. This shoe gives the dancer a strong supportive box, wider platform, and arch-hugging insole. The medium vamp with the signature Suffolk U shape is hand cut to perfection.

Shank available in Standard and Light (this listing is for the Standard shank, please see other listing for Light shank option.)

Eurostretch is one of BLOCH's new and exciting ranges of pointe shoes, boasting groundbreaking innovation. With the latest stretch materials, these features combine to allow ultimate articulation of the foot and unparalleled connection between foot and shoe. Innovative stretch fabric is like a second skin, giving a superior connection between shoe and foot which allows maximum articulation.

• Designed using the Patented European Balance-type last, giving ultimate support and function
• Deep vamp and wide box give additional support
• Unique Stretch Satin adheres to the foot like a second skin
• Split outsole design allows maximum stretch at the arch as the dancer moves from flat to pointe — never compromising the streamlined fit against the foot
• A Paste, a firmer pasting method, has been incorporated to withstand heat and humidity
• High and wide platform gives superior balance and stability, and encourages easy weight distribution while en pointe
• Low profile with elastic draw cord gives a streamlined fit
• Leather heel grip stops the shoe slipping when moving between flat and en pointe, ensuring a non-slip fit
• Cotton insert designed for easy ribbon and elastic stitching
• Noise reduction under the pleats
• Removable internal gel toe cushions 
• Elastic drawstring

The Balance European Strong has a curved last which follows the natural contours of the foot, providing maximum comfort and injury protection. This model has a stronger shank than the Balance European.

• Curved last and shank remain in close contact with the instep, significantly improving injury protection
• Tapered box with less internal space for the toes creates a snug and secure fit
• The exterior of the shoe has a more streamlined appearance without losing the width of the platform
• The generous platform encourages balanced weight distribution and can reduce pressure on individual metatarsals
• Diagonal side seam reduces satin creasing
• The low profile of the shoe, medium side, open throat line of the vamp shape, and elastic drawstring, creates a streamlined, snug fit
• Heel cushion
• Noise reduction under the pleats
• Elastic drawstring

The Nikolay SmartPointe shoe represent the next generation of pointe shoes and feature built in "design intelligence". The shoe is ultralight and features flexibility in the upper part of the shank (similar to the flexibility of a 3/4 shank) which allows for more articulation through the foot and hugging to the arch. The "Smart" satin and innovative last are designed to react to the different foot forms dancers express when dancing.

Other features include:
• Unique elastic glue that adapts to the dancers’ foot but stays flexible. When the shoe is on, the dancer can soften the box with fingers to adjust the box to the shape of the foot to emphasize the arch.
• New microfiber heel counter that provides anti-slip protection
• New outsole to enable smooth roll up to en-pointe
• Side seams at the arch, along with lower cut heel and sides that accentuate the dancer’s arch
• Natural leather outsole
• Slightly tapered form with medium platform that creates an elegant look, prolonging the leg lines, best suited for dancers with medium to wide feet and a low to medium arch.

Nikolay 2007 pointe shoes have a U-shaped medium vamp with a drawstring, medium platform, machine-stitched suede sole.

New anatomical form extremely supportive and comfortable for all kinds of feet. The specially designed extra light model with a suede machine-stitched sole provides an easy transition from the demi-pointe to the pointe and back. They are distinguished by their perfect balance and placement, outstanding durability, lack of noise and comfort. 

The Nikolay 3007 Pointe Shoes feature a U-shaped medium vamp with drawstring, medium platform, and slightly tapered box.

The 3007 is built on the 2007 last, which was developed with consideration of the anatomic features of a medium width foot with a medium arch with medium or long toes. The 3007 features the addition of a new suede anti-slip enhancement in the heel area.

Product features include:
• Anti-slip heel counter molds to the foot and prevents slippage.
• Flat and stable medium platform, balanced by hand.
• Adaptive eco-dextrin box.
• Smart paste recalls and assumes the shape of the foot after initial first use.

The Nikolay 3007 Pointe Shoes are available in sizes 1-8, widths of 1X-5X, and 3 different shanks --Super Soft (SS), Medium (M) & Hard (H).
