The Balance European Pointe Shoe has a curved last which follows the natural contours of the foot, providing maximum comfort and injury protection.

Features

• The Balance European allows the dancer to feel as if they can stand en pointe all day, as the curved last and shank remain in close contact with the instep, significantly improving injury protection
• Tapered box with less internal space for the toes creates a snug and secure fit
• The exterior of the shoe has a more streamlined appearance without losing the width of the platform
• The generous platform encourages balanced weight distribution and can reduce pressure on individual metatarsals
• Diagonal side seam reduces satin creasing
• The low profile of the shoe, medium side, open throat line of the vamp shape and elastic drawstring, creates a streamlined, snug fit
• Heel cushion
• Noise reduction under pleats
• A paste

Note

• Ribbons and elastic sold separately

Sizing: Pointe shoe fit matters more than any other dance shoe, since the wrong fit can affect technique and increase injury risk. We strongly recommend an in-person fitting at our Leicester store before your first pair. Bloch sizing is based on a medium width foot; see Bloch’s official size guide as a starting point.
