Freed pointe shoes??

Question

What brand of pointe shoes is for people who have wider feet?

Is freed for people who has wider feet?

Why do some studios not allow Gaynor Minden?

Answer 1

i heard that grishko has the best shoes for wide feet those are what im getting next because blochs are bad for wide feet

Answer 2

This questioin has my name written all over it. I have the exact same problem. I use Bloch Morphs,but I use the widest size so I have to special order them. Here are some pretty good and wde pointe shoes. I am just asuming that you have a sqaure foot.

Capezio- Glisse

Bloch- Morph, Balance

Harmonie- Melody

Gaynor Mindens

Freed- Studio 2

I can feel your pain it is almost impossible to find a good pair of pointe shoes for wider feet.

Also the reason why your ballet school may not let you have Gaynor MIndens is because they are not made with cardboard, so they arent really considered an original pointe shoes. They also dont make you get blisters which leave you with calisis, which every dancer needs.

Answer 3

i agree... sansha is my preferred brand of shoe i have wide feet to and they feet my feet comfortably... and i do pointe so to be semi- comfortable in any pair of pointe shoes is a miracle lol

Answer 4

okay, im not so sure about the 3rd question, but the first two i can do. you MOST DEFNINTLY have to go try on pointe shoes in different brands. im in pointe, and bloch could feet your feet good, or sansha could. it all depends on size and how you feel about it.  <333 hope it helps.
