These are pointe shoes from Avignon, a popular Japanese brand known for being comfortable for Japanese feet. The box and shank are still firm and not yet broken down, but there are some stains from having been worn for a certain period. Also, there are "L" and "R" written on the insoles. There is no odor, but there is a feeling of use, so please consider purchasing with the understanding that this is a used item. Stretch pointe ribbons, ankle mesh elastic ribbons, and non-slip leather pads on the platform (toe) are already attached. ● Brand: Avignon ● Type: Mark K ● Size: D3 1/2 (23.5cm) ● Country of Origin: Japan The 3/4 shank fits the arch of the foot, and the wide platform provides stability, making these pointe shoes easy for beginners to wear. These shoes are Mark K with a low box, size D with a normal width of 3.5, and I think they will fit those who usually wear shoe sizes of around 22.5-23cm. They are designed to be easy to wear for those with low arches and thin feet. Avignon pointe shoes are difficult to purchase because there are not many shops where you can try them on, but they are a brand with a very high repeat rate, as they are also suitable for those with flat feet or bunions. I think these are still in a condition that can be worn, so I hope you will consider them as a spare for those who quickly wear out their shoes, or as a trial shoe for those who want to check the size and fit. #ballet #shoes #pointeshoes #pointe #avignon #banbiro #madeinjapan
