Pointe shoes are an essential element for ballet dancers, designed to provide the support and structure needed to dance on the tips of the toes. Crafted with a stiff box at the front to protect the toes and a shank to support the arch, pointe shoes allow dancers to achieve the iconic "en pointe" position. When selecting pointe shoes, factors such as fit, foot shape, and level of experience are critical for both performance and injury prevention.
