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.

Features:

• Box: Broad
• Shank: Flexible
• Vamp: Deep/Long
• Foot Shape: Broad/Roman

Gaynor Minden shanks and boxes are made from a flexible polymer that never weakens and have textured sockliners for impact absorption, comfort, and grip. The pre-arched shank gives the dancer better support and a prettier line while still working the foot. Ideal for the arched and tapered foot shape found on so many dancers, the Sculpted Fit by Gaynor Minden provides a generously cut metatarsal, a narrow heel, and a "sculpted" mid-foot that securely hugs the arch for a beautiful, clean line and even more support, allowing many dancers to wear a more flexible shank and enjoy better roll-through.

Features:

• Box: Average
• Shank: Flexible, Pre-Arched
