What are the best pointe shoes around?

Question

i have grishko's but i was wondering if there was any better ones around.

Answer 1

it depends on your feet, but i use bloch signature rehearsal. i like them. they work for me.

Answer 2

Everyone feet are different, so we all have different opinions.  I know that capezio and grishko's are good.  Gaynor Minden isn't recommended, so those are the shoes you shouldn't buy.

Answer 3

bloch european balance.

Answer 4

Try going to a large dance store that carries many brands and try lots of different ones on.  Everyone has a perfect fit out there somewhere, it just may take trying on 20 pairs before you find the perfect ones.  There are also many types of toe pads that will make shoes fit differently.  A good dance store will also have a variety of these to try on with the shoes.  Good luck!

Answer 5

gaynor mindens, russian pointe, and grishkos are all very good.

Answer 6

it depends on your own foot and what school you go to.

i have gaynor mindens and at my school they ARE recommended for you.

question for the answerer above: why are they not recommended for you? that is the only shoe we are allowed to wear and i think the they are very good for my feet.

Answer 7

i use bloch sonatas and they have been a really good shoe. just try to find something that will best aid your feet!=)

Answer 9

I love my bloch signature rehersals! they break in super fast though so beware! oh and the reason ganors aren't recommened is b/c they already have the arch build in so your feet won't be as strong.
