Contrary to popular belief, a well-fitted shoe does not need an ouch pouch! Combined with proper toe and Metatarsal taping, the shoe should support the first Transvers or Metatarsal arch, taking pressure away from the joints of the toes and prevent injury.
The shank of the pointe shoe should support the Longitudinal arch correctly, and the dancer’s heel should be supported through the correctly fitting heel combined with the ribbons.
Consider that the foot has a natural three points of support system, which works perfectly well when we are walking, running dancing or standing. On Demi-Pointe the three points of support move forwards to give perfect support to the big toe and the ball of the foot, but when we go on pointe the support is lost as we now only have a platform to stand on. Now the pointe shoe must replace the three points of support.
About our shoes
We stock a large range of Demi- and pointe shoes, which we carry in different styles, sizes, up to six different width and three different shank strengths. This allows us to find the perfect fitting.
We have modified the Grishko pointe shoes to make them support the Austral Asian foot correctly and we only supply our shoes to Pointe shoe fitters who we have trained in the Juon Pointe System.
