Woven Demi-Pointe Ballet Shoes - Salmon

The shoes look fine but there is an elastic strap that needs to be stitched on one side before the shoes can be worn. I don't know why the strap isn't already fixed in place as it is made of elastic anyway so will stretch as needed.

These are not Demi Pointe shoes. These are canvas ballet shoes. Please do not confuse them with Demi Pointe shoes. Demi Pointe shoes are worn whilst the student is practising for full Pointe shoes. Demi Pointe shoes outer appearance resembles that of a pointe shoe and it has a toe box, although the box is softer and the wings (sides of the toe box) are typically not as deep as those found on pointe shoes. Demi-pointe shoes are secured to the feet with ribbons and elastic band in identical fashion to pointe shoes. Unlike pointe shoes, however, demi-pointe shoes have no shank and, as a result, they do not provide the support necessary for proper pointe work. Demi-pointe shoes are most often used to train dancers who are new to pointe technique. They serve to acclimate dancers to the feel of wearing pointe shoes and to strengthen the ankles and feet in preparation for dancing en pointe in pointe shoes. The toe box allows the dancer to experience the feel of a pointe shoe, while the insole and outsole work together to provide the resistance needed for developing foot and ankle strength.

Bon produit. Dommage que les électriques ne serra pas trop le pied
