Made for dancers with a medium to narrow forefoot and tapered toes. Due to its longer vamp this shoe is also suited for dancers with longer toes. Students enjoy the long-lasting consistency of the toe box and the arch flexibility of the 3/4 skived shank. This type of shank allows you to get over the shoe while building foot strength. The heel cut also enhances your line. Comfortable, popular and unique. Ideal for pointe dancing. Made in the USA. Original Capezio pointe shoe. FITTING GUIDE: Begin fitting 3 sizes smaller than street shoe size.
