SanshaWomen's Recital II Pointe Shoe

The media could not be loaded. Supportive, hard shank pointe shoes. The toe box and long wings are perfect for long toes.

Los talles no van de acuerdo a la tabla.

These shoes looked returned and beat up. There was a stain on the inside that could have been paste but honestly looked like blood, the outer shanks looked as if someone had scratched them and then stained them. There were stains all over, even on the elastic. They were smushed from being poorly packaged in transport. I think they would have been great shoes, however the quality of them is questionable. Probably returned shoes that were not fit to be sold again.

These are not the best even after I broke them in. In the picture down below they are not very pretty because I've warn them. But otherwise they are good but should be a lower price. They are not very supportive.

I should point out, I am using these while doing a Ballet Beautiful mat workout - simply because I think they look pretty. I am not actually dancing en pointe in these. But for my uses, they are wonderful. I wear an 8 street size so ordered an 11 XW. They are wide enough and the perfect length. I am very happy I ordered them!

I am a male dancer and do not perform on pointe but do at the advice of my instructor do pointe work for balance and strength. I used the sizing chart and ordered two sizes down fro my street size of size 10. The shoes came quickly and appear to be a quality shoe. The problem is I can't believe how small they run. I am unable to even get toes into the box and no way could I get the shoe on to my foot. Truly disappointed but rather than return them I am going to give them to one of the female dancers in my class. I am now of the opinion the only way to buy pointe shoes is to go in for a fitting. Advice would be to order the shoes at least the same as street size.

I have large fit and have never been able to find large sizes that fit. These fit and are very comfortable.I wear a mens street shoe 9.5 wide. I've tried the old rule of adding 2 sizes, but they never fit and are horribly uncomfortable.Instead I decided to add 4 (14) and got a perfectly comfortable fit. My big feet are happy!

I really loved how strong these are. Even as my first pair of pointe shoes, I noticed that they were extremely well made and are very hard to break into. One draw back: The strap isnt attached and you need to get some ribbons as they arent given with the shoes. I usually wear a size 9 street shoe and ordered a 12; I'm kind of wishing I got a 13 because they're a little tight, but I'll deal with them. Overall I think these are good pointe shoes for the beginners and am excited to start trying these out. The colour is superb and beautiful!
