Thank you for viewing! Bloch Pointe Shoes Elegance Stretch Purchased at Ballet Shop Abby for 11,400 yen - Size: 6 X - Brand: Bloch - Condition: Used I wore them 4 or 5 times at home to break them in, and twice in lessons, but the box is still stiff, so you can still use them. Milva stretch elastic and clear elastic are sewn on, but I can remove them if you don't need them. ~Manufacturer's Description~ These are new, patented stretch pointe shoes that are gentle on a ballerina's feet and body. They reduce the digging in of the heel during jumps and pliés, and are recommended for those who suffer from Achilles tendon pain. These pointe shoes are very light compared to conventional products, allowing for light footwork. They boast excellent support and stretch, allowing for supple and beautiful movements while keeping the instep beautiful. With a wide box similar to "Balance European," they are easy to balance and provide excellent stability. They have an excellent fit like "Heritage" and make the instep look very beautiful with the angle of the arch. BLOCH's uniquely developed insole allows for smooth movement from demi to pointe. A soft cushion is built into the heel of the insole to reduce the burden on the feet and bones during jumps and pointe work. The toe design reduces noise, making them very quiet.
