Russian Pointe Almaz U-Cut Drawstring Pointe Shoes - Flexible Medium Shank

My daughter loves these shoes. They fit perfectly to her foot and arch. They are well made. These shoes are hard to find, I only hope you will continue to sell them. Please get more in stock

My daughter has been dancing on pointe for the last 5 years and has always struggled trying to find the right shoe. She's been told "yes, they work great" but then a month or so after they say they don't work. It's frustrating as a mom buying all these different shoes. But the Russian Pointe Bravas work fantastic. They are well made and they make her feet look beautiful. She's very happy with the comfort. I hope you will continue to sell these shoes.

Shoes were perfect.

I am an older dancer who likes to maintain foot strength, so finding a shoe that fit my feet perfectly so I could do a little pointe work made me so happy. I have a very low profile foot with moderately tapered toes , high arch and diamond shaped foot The 3 width is perfect, the box needs no gel padding at all because all contact points are made - there is no sinking into the box at all. The heel does not slip. I love the FS shank, but still like to soften it more with a little force. The V shaped vamp is beautiful. In general these are made very well - I enjoy wearing them

My daughter has been on pointe for almost 3 years, and has been on search for her perfect pair. She has very narrow and compressive feet, second toes being the longest, narrow heels, and rather flat feet. Over the course of our research, we came to realize that she needs low profile shoes that allows the boxes to hug her toes securely, so that her arches are supported and able to get on the box fully. RP Almaz is so far the perfect fit for her as the compact boxes with good wing support are letting her get on the box with ease, and the tapered heels stays nicely fit on her heels without being baggy. She wears U-cut vamp with drawstrings, Width 1, Vamp 2, and FM shank is working better than FH as she is a light weight, and still lasts quite well.
