Mabe - U-Cut Pointe Shoes with Drawstring

Sea of Pearls Collection

Look no further than this pearl-inspired pointe shoe for your perfect fit. Mabe pointe shoes are included in the NEW Sea of Pearls Collection. Featuring pliable shanks, pre-arched construction, generous box, medium crown and an extra-wide toe platform. Dancers most likely to choose Mabe have broad or even-length toes or wear thicker padding, such as gel pads.

Fits fuller profile feet with even-length toes and a broad heel.

If you love the Muse from our Spotlight Collection, we recommend the NEW Mabe pointe shoe for your next pair.
