    AMAZING SHOE ALL AROUND

    I am a professional dancer and know a lot about pointe shoes. I discovered this shoe when I went to ballet school. This shoe is so versatile (the whole jewels collection is great), and was by far the most popular shoe at school. When I got into company, the majority of them also wore this shoe. Why I love this shoe: It supports you. The shank allows your foot to lift so that you don't feel such heavy pressure on your toes. Your toes stay long, yet you can still "feel the floor". Reason No. 2: THIS SHANK DOESN'T BREAK! I have very very archy feet and every time with other shoes I would break the shank. Sometimes the first day, if not, a short time after. These shoes aren't plastic and bouncy like Gaynor's (blech), but offer a supple support that never ever breaks. No. 3: These puppies last. No. 4: They are superb at molding to your foot. They mend and mold without breaking. My advice is to wear them around the house when you receive them to warm them up. Do some releves to get your basic mold formed. Then, since they are warm, you can take them off and further mold them to your desired fit. I am a teacher and have recommended this shoe to all of my dancers.

    NT A BEGINNERS' SHOE

    These were my first pair of pointe shoes. I used them for over nine months, for about a half hour each week. In my pre-pointe class, there were many releves that should have quickly broken the shoe in, but my feet weren't strong enough to bend the shoe well. The shank molded at the wrong spot on my arch, much too high, and was never really comfortable. Would not recommend for beginners because even the softest shank was too hard for me. I would try them again, but at the price and rate I'm going through a pair of shoes (about every 3-4 months), I'm a little scared to try them again and get stuck with them if they don't work.
