pointe shoes help needed?
Hi! ever since i started pointe, i’ve been using repetto 207 pointe shoes but now they break easily and i need some intermediate pointe shoes for floor work. The problem is there are no ballet stores in my country and i have to order my pointe shoes online. My last pointe shoes were a tapered box since my first toe is the longest, short vamp, low heel and a full shank, they fit perfectly. I’m trying to find similar shoes with about the same specifications but i need them to be for intermediate level since my first were for beginners and i also am not sure of how hard i have to get the box so depending on the shoe i would appreciate your help advising me. If it’s any help i think i dance on pointe shoes about an hour and a half or two per week. So if you have any suggestions of pointes shoes that could work for me, i’d appreciate it. Any brands would be good, it doesn’t really matter to me. Thanks in advance!
Try emailing Freeds, Bloch and Capezio and asking if they can make a pair to your specifications or sell them already. Freeds only charge about £5 more for custom fit but also have a huge selection off the shelf. I always use Bloch now and my sonata shoes are strong enough to co[e with what I put them through. Another idea is, if your feet have completely stopped growing then maybe make it clear that you will be buying a couple of pairs so that p&p is a bit cheaper.
