  The shoe that won't die....
  Sansha S1C still stands as the best all-around canvas ballet slipper.Though this has been somewhat jokingly christened 'the bedtime slipper,' for looseness off the foot, the line on working feet is very visible, especially after repeated use.Where Bloch and Capezio tend to require multiple fittings and testing of different styles- especially through mail order- Sansha styles, as long as they are purchased in the correct approximate widths and lengths, will mold to individual feet and stand for years with good care.
  
  The only reservation I have about these shoes is the leather soles' capacity for holding onto everything they pass over for an extended period of time.If you dance in a meticulous studio, this is not an issue, but where a stray drop of soda or Gatorade is occassionally spilt, you may want to scuff the soles once a week.Washing does not seem to clean the leather as well as the canvas, and eventual buildup will impede turns. ...

Product Description

Capezio®s popular Glissé pointe shoe, which debuted in Spring 2003, has quickly attained the illustrious position of becoming the companys best-selling pointe shoe ever. Originally designed from specifications developed by Gine Chant, a former ballerina with the London City Ballet and proprietor of Norwich Dancewear with more than ten years of experience in fitting dancers, this leading product features a streamlined, rounded sole; a flattering, high U-shaped vamp; extended platform for maximum support; shaved shank for enhanced in-step; and attractive elastic drawstring.Since its successful introduction, an additional need surfaced for a version of Glissé with a stronger shank to accommodate a wider range of dancers. Recognizing that a softer shank does not suit every dancer, and to provide the highest level of service to its customers, Capezio® developed Glissé ES, lending increased support to dancers and enhancing the lifetime of the shoe.Generally, a shoe with a softer shank is worn by dancers at the two ends of the spectrum: young dancers who have low arches, dancers who have difficulty getting over on pointe, and very strong professional dancers that need less help from the shank of a shoe, explained Chant. This leaves a vast group of dancers requiring a greater level of support, which is now satisfied with the introduction of Glissé ES.While many of our customers loved the shape and feel of Glissé, many required a stronger shank, continued Chant. The original Glissé still sells well and is ideal for many dancers. Now with the introduction of the Glissé ES, an even greater number of dancers can benefit form the shoes best-selling design and features.Capezio®s Glissé pointe shoe features a graduated flat crown box for maximum support, balance and stability, without extending to the top of the vamp. The top quarter of the hard shank is skived, enhancing your instep on and off of pointe. A high U shaped vamp, tapered satin around the hee ... Read more

Protect your feet!
Even though it may seem cool to buy pointe shoes over the internet, I don't recommend it. ALL pointe shoes fit different. There are different hardnesses of shank, different widths, and lengths. Also depending on the model of shoe, and the brand the sizes vary. Some sizes go up from street shoe sizes, and some sizes go down from street shoe sizes. My capezio contempora pointe shoes go down size in size, while the capezio giselle goes up in size. I recommend going to a dance supply store in your area to find pointe shoes.

hard to break in
You know your feet the best, but for me, these were hard to break in and when they did, the arch wasn't in the right place. They were never the right shape for my feet, making them look shorter than they really are. That made it harder to get nice lines. The plie II's (capezio) worked better for me, but these might do the trick for you and they're quite a bit cheaper. These are great if you have a wider toe and a strong arch. ... Read more

if the shoe fits, wear it
It usually takes a few tries to get the right pointe shoe. There is never one specific type that is guaranteed for everyone. However, I have a slightly wider toe configuration and a weak arch. I've had to work on my feet for a long time. The shank in these shoes broke in for me much faster than my Bloch Aspirations, which I greatly appreciated. I'm usually not a fan of Capezio pointe shoes, but these ones were real nice fore me. Unlike some dancers, I don't like replacing my pointe shoes every month or all too frequently. I like to use them until they're worn down, and then I wear them as demi-pointes. Anyway, if these shoes work for you, don't try to switch. If they don't work for you, then don't try and make them. They were great for me. I let them air dry each night so that the toe wouldn't get soft and they lasted me about three months. ... Read more
