01/03/2019I've used these ribbons with Gaynor Minden, Freed, and Russian Pointe shoes and they never disappoint! Super nice color and not too shiny.

07/06/2018Perfect ribbon color -- pairs seamlessly colorwise with most pointe shoes (I use them with Bloch and Grisko brands.)
I prefer these are not stretchy as it helps with the stability of the shoe during movement.

07/21/2015I think this ribbon is really comfortable and the colour matches almost exactly with my Grishko Elite pointe shoes. It might be slightly too pink for Russian Pointe and too light for Capezio and Freeds but overall great ribbons!

07/14/2015My daughter just sewed these ribbons on a new pair of pointe shoes yesterday. She wore them today only to have her picture taken, and already every end is unraveling. One end unraveled about 1/2"; at that rate, it won't be long until there isn't enough left to tie. The ribbon is also very thin - she noticed right away that you can see through it. I expected much higher quality.

06/14/2015I had these ribbons, I hated them. When you tie them, the knot stays, but it gets very loose and doesn't support your ankle. The color is too pink for Russian Pointes, and is white on capezio and Grishko!!! My advice, save your money and buy other ribbons.

12/28/2014These ribbons works with many shoes types and always look beautiful. They give you plenty for both shoes and they stay gleaming and almost wrinkle free after many wear. I caution you to burn the ends to stop the fraying, and to make sure you sew shiny side up. If the grainy side is up, (a mistake I'v made) it will look strange, like it is almost a different color. Finally, if performing with these tuck the ribbons good and give them a good shot of hair spray to stop slippage.

12/28/2014I haven't found anything special about these ribbons. They're your typical ribbon, have one side shiny and one side matte, and need tended to on the ends so they don't fray. I fold the ends twice and sew them, and I've never had issues with fraying. I actually prefer using the matte side up (shiny against my tights) because I've found it gives me less slippage and a nicer look, personally. Great ribbons.

10/28/2014These pointe shoe ribbons are great! They match Grishko, Sansha, Capezio, Russian, and Gaynor Minden Pointe shoes perfectly (I have tried all of these types). The satin is high quality and stays tied. However, make sure to burn the ends before sewing the ribbons because they will fray. This is a great product that I would definitely reccomend.

05/04/2014I use the Grishko ribbons because they are the only ones available at ,y local dance store. Now I know why! These ribbons are amazing! Their color matches every type of pointe shoes I've ever gotten-- from Russian Pointe to Capezio, these ribbons won't let you down! You MUST burn the edges or else they will fray. In addition, you have to be careful when you sew them because they will leave holes where you took the needle out when the needle is too big. But overall, these are the only ribbons I'll ever use!

03/07/2014Kudos to you, Grishko. This is a good ribbon. The only flaws it has are flaws you'd expect from a ribbon (frays if you're not careful, hurts if tied too tight), but it's exactly what I need for pointe overall.

09/17/2013As long as you don't forget to either use clear nail polish on the ends or carefully burn the ends they work great!

07/09/2013I am a beginner on pointe and these ribbons have worked very well so far. While I haven't been using them everyday, they have so far held up very well and are quite durable. Some classmates complained about them fraying...yet I singed both ends before sewing them on and have not had ANY problems with fraying. The color (almost a pastel peach) and texture are also very nice. They match perfectly with my Gaynor Minden pointe shoes. Awesome product by Grishko, yet again!

12/26/2012These honestly may have been the best pointe shoe ribbons I have ever had. i think they are just perfect, because they don;t become lose at all. Sadly, I have Capezio pointe shoes, so I can't really buy the Grishko ribbon anymore, because of the difference in the colors. If you have a pointe shoe similar to the Grishko pointe shoes, I would full-heartedly recommend these ribbons.

11/23/2012Since I am required to have ribbons on my pointe shoes (of course!!) AND my flat shoes, I had to find a ribbon that i could stick to. These are so light weight. but when i was burning these, they almost went up in flames! So just be careful when burning the edges!

09/17/2012Very nice ribbons, the do fray a little and are pretty thin.... but they work very well. I have Grishko pointe shoes so it's a pretty good match in color.

06/25/2012I was overjoyed when I found these! The other ribbons all seemed thin and cheaply made. They were also a very strange orange/pink color which doesn't work with most pointe shoes. These Grishko ribbons are durable and a very pretty shade of pink. The color especially works well with Russian Pointe and Grishko pointe shoes. I would recommend these to anyone and everyone.

11/13/2011I have the Grishko 2007 and I bought these because my friends say they work great. They are soft, but they fray way to much, even after I burned the tips. They started fraying the second I took them out of the package, and when I went to sew them, it had already started fraying. I just sewed it a few cm above the frayed part but after like 2 or 3 classes it had frayed up to the stitch and now i have had to resew it twice. they are pretty and soft, but very cheap material and not very comfy either. I don't recommend these.

03/15/2009I love these ribbons. They are great. Make sure you burn the edges though. :) I love them. They go very good with my pointe shoes which are the Heritage.

California,So no, this ribbon isn't the best but it works. It was cheap enough for me to get two packs. It does fray easy but most ribbon does that. As long as you're not doing a photo shoot or something, this ribbon is great :)

04/20/2008They are perfect! They go great with Grishko 2007s, too! I have so far, only used these ribbons. I will keep using them. They fray easily but still GREAT! I am, by the way, 11 and a beginner pointe student. I recommend these ribbons.

Seattle, Wa,It's very pretty and tough but when I'm rolling up thru demi-pointe, the edges of the ribbon cut into my ankles! I've started using Capezio ribbon on my Grishkos and they match very well.

09/04/2006This is very pretty ribbon, and it looks really nice, but I've found that it doesn't hold a knot very well. Partway throughout class I have to stop and re-tie my ribbons, since they've loosened. Otherwise very nice, classic, and pretty. If you're going to use shiny ribbon, you might as well buy these!
