Best Pointe Shoes?

Question

What brand of pointe shoes do you like the most? i am buying new pointe shoes and wanted others opinions. If you could please tell me where to get them, how much they are etc...

Thanks!!

Answer 1

i've been en pointe for nearly 9 months and have gone through several pairs. Leo's are really easy to break in but if u have bunions (like me :] ) don't use them. For me blochs were WAY too hard. Today i got fitted and bought a pair of russain pointes at the russain pointe boutique. I love my new shoes and going there was a great experience

Answer 2

i've only tried 2 brands of pointe shoes in my 6 years of being on pointe. I tried capezios for a while but ended up not like them very much. I really love gaynor minden's. They support your foot very well and last for quite a while.

but they're a lot more expensive than many brands. usually around $90-$100.

Answer 3

It all depends on you. Everyone's feet are different, so everyone needs different pointe shoes. Try on different ones to see which work best for you. I use Russian Pointe, and they're about $80

Answer 4

I like capezio the best.  Pointe shoes are usually between 70 and 100 dollars.  You can buy them at a dance store where they can help you get fitted which I highly recommend!  I also suggest the gel cushies that fit at the top of your foot as well as between your big toe.. it does wonders!

Answer 5

Gaynor Minden are the best they are expensive about $120 but they should be at your local dance shop If you have not had these shoes before don't get them from the Internet if you need a leotard or tights or other dance shoes etc...you can get them from http://www.discountdance.com/index.php hope I helped =^..^=
