The European Balance pointe shoe is made on a curved last which closely mimics the natural contours of the foot. This allows the shank/insole to have close contact with the instep. The wide platform encourages balanced weight distribution and can reduce pressure on individual metatarsals. The diagonal side seams reduce satin creasing.
This shoe's low profile and open throat line together with the elastic drawstring create a streamlined, snug fit.
Diagonal side seam - Reduces creasing
Elastic drawstring - Improved fit of the upper
Deep and wide platform - Gives increased stability and lateral support
Flexible shank at the arch - Emphasises the arch of the foot 'en pointe'
Heel cushion - Cups the heel and holds the shape
Thin outsole - Creates maximum stability
Comfortable and flat last - Improves weight distribution
Standard 'A' paste - Has resilience and is less affected by climatic conditions such as heat and humidity

Important: Pointe shoe fitting
Pointe shoes require specialist fitting. The correct shoe depends on your individual foot shape, strength, technique and other fitting considerations. A shoe that works well for another dancer may not be suitable for you.
If you are purchasing pointe shoes for the first time, or are unsure of your correct model, size, width or shank strength, we strongly recommend an in-person fitting with a qualified pointe shoe fitter at Dancestuff.
Online orders should only be placed by dancers who are confident in their previously fitted shoe specifications. Please contact us before ordering if you are unsure.
