Pointe shoes

If you are looking to buy pointe shoes, once you are ready, I recomend Bloch. Capezio has this weird thing at the toe that is suposed to make the shoe more comfy, but for me, it is not. Bloch shoes are made for all kinds of different feet. I have tapered feet (my toes curve in like a upsidown V) so it makes it so my toes aren't smooshed, and they look pretty on my feet. If you have really flexible feet, like in the picture of pointe shoes below, I recomend a double shank (the 'sole' of the shoe) so your shoes last longer. There are lots of different types of bloch shoes, but it depends on your own foot to tell which one is right for you. Russian pointe is also good but it tends to be more expensive. I also like morello point shoes.
