The ribbon Bunheads has offered to dancers of all levels for many years, It is durable, quality 7/8" single faced satin in Professional Pink. Many female dancers develop Achilles' Tendonitis due to the nature of pointe work. Too often, ribbons that are tied too tightly restrict the ankles and create excessive pressure on the Achilles' tendon. Flexers are designed to help alleviate the pressure that causes this irritation. They are snug and secure, yet stretch with the movement of the ankle. They enable the dancer to rise from plie, through demi-pointe and onto pointe with minimal constriction and no bagginess. Recommended by physical therapists, used by professionals. 4 ribbons per set.

These are not pink, more peach. The color is awful and doesn't even go with Capezio pointe shoes. These are also not nearly s good quality as the Bloch ribbons (which actually match the Capezio pointe shoes, too)

HORRIBLE QUALITY
The elastic frayed on the first use and the ribbon is very thin.
BLOCH Elastorib is much better.

TOUGH TO SEW, BUT...
Wow, these serve their purpose well! I love them!!
Pros: comfy, nice design, nice color, serves its purpose of preventing tendinitis, everything I could ask for overall :)
Cons: hard to sew (they're pointless if the elastic doesn't center your tendon perfectly, and this precise-ness makes it tough to sew), kinda expensive considering it's just 4 ribbons :/
Overall, they're great! A must-buy for dancers looking to alleviate pressure on the Achilles.

LOVE THEM!
I have these for one of my pointe shoes, and these feel much better than w/ regular ribbons. I will use these for my future pointe shoes from now on. Highly recommend!

GREAT EXCEPT....COLOR.
These are great and work really well! I have used the same pair for two pairs of shoes and they're still in great condition. They've helped so much with my achilles pain. My only problem with them would be the color. They look very pink next to my almost-white Russian Pointe shoes.

GREAT FOR ACHILLES TENDONITIS

These are the best ribbons!!! They are a really good color for Freeds. Also, the ends of the ribbons stay tucked in really well. Buy them!!!

LOVE
Best ribbons ever. I'm basically obsessed. Definitely worth the purchase; I keep transferring them to new shoes and I've had them for a while and they're still amazing.

Not very flexible. You would do better in buying Bloch's elastorib ribbons. Much better. Although Flexers match Gaynor Minden pointe shoes better than Bloch.

CANT LIVE WITHOUT THEM
I have very sensitive achilles and these take all the pressure off them. The colors are bright now, but years ago when I first purchased them they were a bit less shocking pink, but they still match A LOT of different shoes.
And come on people, these DO NOT replace ankle elastics!! It's quite obvious and all you have to do is read the product description (it never claims it does)!
These ribbons should be a requirment for all dancers!! I've had the 2 same sets of ribbon for 2 years now and they are still functional!
