What is you favourite pointe shoe?

Question

what is your favourite brand/style of pointe shoes in ballet ?

Answer 1

Me and almost everyone in my ballet class has or has had Bloch Serenades. They aren't too hard or too soft, they arent too expensive, they last forever, and they work for just about ANY type of foot.

Another great pair i had were Capezios. I LOVED those pointe shoes, but when i bought them they smelled kinda bad. They worked really well tho...:)

Answer 2

GAYNOR MAIDEN! they are so comfortable. but it is not recommended for young dancers, because its is too soft. so i use sansha recitals to make my foot strong. :) or any other pointe shoes are good. well thats just my opinion :P

Answer 3

I have chacotts and they work very well I have small narrow feet!

Answer 4

i used bloch suprimas pretty much the whole time. they broke in easily enough but stayed pretty strong for a while. they were so comfortable!

i tried capezios and found them entirely too narrow. and when i tried grishkas, in every pair, the toe box essentially shattered after the first couple of wears.

Answer 5

grishko is my preference definetley

my feet are weirdly shape,and like the fit that they give me

:)

Answer 6

grishko. they are awesome!

Answer 7

I used to love Bloch. I've worn Sylphides (my first pair), Suprima, Sonata and Aspirations. My Aspirations are my favourite of the Bloch I have tried. Finally a shoe that is the right shape for my foot! (If only the profile was lower!!). However, I tried on a pair of Innovation by Bob Martin, and I LOVED them. They didn't give me the apperance of an incredible arch (which is ok, because I don't have one), but I felt so stable on pointe, and was over the box and well balanced, something I haven't found in the time I've been on pointe.

Answer 8

my fav shoe is grishko they feel so comfty

Answer 9

CHACOTTS or SANSHA...sansha was better when i was more advanced

but i'm in love with both brands

and GRISHKO's are decent

Answer 10

I like Gamba 93, Capezio Contemporas, and Merlet Emprientes

Answer 11

sonata are what I wear and I LOVE them because they're the perfect shape for my foot [REALLY narrow heel but normal toe joint] and comfortable.

but it all depends on your foot shape. I'm sure every type is loved by at least one person out there somewhere because everyone has differently-shaped feet - you just need to try them until you find the perfect ones for you!
