🩰 Suffolk — October 1 Prices increasing up to $170
And these aren’t the only changes coming…
Nutcracker season is one of the busiest times of the year for pointe shoes, so if you know you’ll be needing shoes this fall, we recommend planning ahead and getting fitted early!
We’ll keep you posted as we receive more information on additional manufacturers and price changes.

Knuckling, sinking, or twisting can all be signs that something about your fit isn’t quite right. And if you aren’t feeling supported anymore by your pointe shoes they’re probably dead! The right pointe shoe should support your dancing - not make you fight against it.
Come see us for an expert pointe shoe fitting and find your perfect fit! 🤍

Can you spot the difference? 👀
Level: Beginner… technically 🤭
There’s one pretty obvious difference you can spot from the front but there are actually a few more differences between these shoes that you’d miss just seeing them from this angle 🩰
Want us to reveal the rest? Or do you want to see if you can figure them out first? We’d be seriously impressed if you can guess the styles from just this angle!!

One for each foot. Then a backup pair. And maybe another backup pair 🤭

She finally said goodbye to these dead pointe shoes and said hello to a beautifully fitted, supportive new pair 😍

Please say no!! When your pointe shoes are truly dead, they’re no longer providing the support they were designed to give 😬
Continuing to dance in dead shoes can lead to: • Less support and stability • Poorer alignment • Increased strain on your feet and ankles • A higher risk of injury
It can be tempting to squeeze “just one more class” out of them, but your body will thank you for knowing when it’s time for a new pair!
Be honest... Have you ever danced on officially deceased pointe shoes before? 💀🩰

Are pointe shoe fitters safe from AI? 🤖🩰 The truth might surprise you…

Can you spot the difference? 👀
Is it the shoe… or is it the foot?
The same exact shoe can look completely different 👀 not just from right to left on your own body, but from one dancer to another 👯♀️
Why? Because every foot is unique. Differences in strength, flexibility, range of motion, and stability all affect how a shoe fits and functions!
That’s why the same shoe your friend in class swears by might not work the same way for you - even if it looks perfect on them.
The shoe matters… but the foot inside it matters more 🩰

✨ Not all pointe shoe fittings are created equal ✨
A true pointe shoe fitting isn’t just about finding a size and sending you on your way - it’s a full evaluation of you as a dancer. Your foot shape. Your strength. Your alignment. Your flexibility. And the way you move.
Two dancers can measure the same on paper and need completely different shoes.
Because the goal isn’t just to get you up on pointe - it’s to keep you supported, properly aligned, and dancing at your highest level once you’re there.
The right fit means: • No sinking into the shoe • No excessive pressure in your toes • Proper lift and support through your arch • Stability you can trust
And sometimes that means customization. Small adjustments like a shank tack or swapping the drawstring can make a huge difference!
If you’ve ever felt like you had to “just deal with” discomfort, instability, or a shoe that never quite felt right… you’re not alone. But you also don’t have to settle!
A proper fitting should feel intentional. Personalized. Precise.
Because when your shoes are right, everything changes - your technique, your confidence, and the way you move.
