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, Light or Hard (this listing is for the Standard shank, please see other listings for Light or Hard 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 low crown, wide platform size and slightly tapered box of the U-cut Rubin combine to suit a variety of foot shapes, while the pleatless platform gives a polished finish. Pliable, long-lasting shanks support with grace, and RP’s revolutionary pre-arched construction mimics the shape of the foot on pointe, to highlight the arch while facilitating pointework and minimizing break-in.

Suits a variety of foot shapes!

Elektra Tech allows dancers to customize their shank strength based on the strength and flexibility of their foot. Designed for the dancer with a Greek or Egyptian foot, Joy II is wider through the metatarsals and tapered through the toes. The ample platform provides stability en pointe while the shank-housing and box construction allow for a beautiful roll-through. Soft wings provide support through the metatarsals and create a beautifully smooth look through the toes. Joy II offers full coverage for those dancers needing a higher vamp.

It features a low and flexible vamp, and an innovative "cryptonite" sole that is extremely durable and allows superior flexion to ease transitions from demi-pointe to pointe.

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.

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

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.
