Features a flexible, supportive and durable shank which makes it ideal for rehearsal and performance.  Medium shank promotes foot articulation and can help the dancer achieve demi pointe.  Toe box features a soft sponge cushion insert for extra comfort while 'en pointe' and acts as a shock absorber.

 

Pointe shoes should fit perfectly and never leave room for growth. Bloch recommends choosing two sizes down from your women's street style shoe. For Tweens/youth they recommend choosing the same size as your street shoe size.
