BLOCH - POINTE SHOES

Bloch’s Balance European mimics the natural contours of the foot by having a curved last and significantly improves injury prevention because the shank remains in close contact with the instep. The low profile improves weight distribution and reduces pressure on the metatarsals. The heel seam cushion reduces material creasing and maintains the perfect line of the foot when on pointe, and the insole shape conforms to the arch. Dancers who choose this shoe often have even-length or square toes.

 Larger Sizes Available here.

Features:

• Box: Broad

Offering all the wonderful attributes of the Heritage with a stronger shank, The Heritage Strong is inspired by Russian heritage with low V-vamp design that lengthens the aesthetic line of the foot.

• The shank is designed to be flexible, supportive 'en pointe' and durable which makes it an ideal shoe for both rehearsal and performance. The medium strength shank promotes foot articulation and can help the dancer achieve demi pointe.
• The flat pleating under the box creates a smooth surface and greater stability when running, walking or standing flat.
• The cupped heel shape incorporates a heel counter. This provides the dancer with a feeling of security and assists in maintaining the shape of the shoe in both the standing and 'en pointe' positions.
• Inside the box at the platform is a soft sponge cushion insert which gives extra comfort and protection when standing 'en pointe' and acts as a shock absorber.

Features:

• Box: Tapered but Wide
• Shank: Medium to Strong
• Vamp: Short
