Nexete Professional Vanassa Ballet Pointe Shoes Satin Dance Slipper Flats with Toe Pad & Ribbon,Leather Sole,Resilient Shank Able to Reach Full Pointe for Girl Women

Beautiful Pointe shoes! My daughter wanted to get some black ones for her Halloween Costume as a trapezist. I think it turned out wonderfully. She did wear some silicone big toe protectors to help ease some of the pain.

Gorgeous shoes.I think a 9 would have worked better.I usually wear a 9 in a shoe that fits this close but because of the reviews I ordered a w0.But I will see elastic in the back inside so they will fit better also you can't thread the ribbons in the back and again I might just add a tiny elastic loop to help.I've always wanted a pair of bright red toe shoes and again these are to die for gorgeous! Also I've read from customers the town of is plastic.Can't prove it by me and I don't dance any more but will be wearing these beautiful shoes to work with a long skirt.Thank you so much!I love them.Also the toebox is a good size.Sincerely,Lydia

To be honest, I bought these after a couple margaritas and watching the music video for Helena. I think I got a size too big but they are fun to play around in. I got the black they’re super cute. They actually don’t feel too bad.

Very nice my daughter loved them. They were a Christmas gift.

I struggled with the star score for this purchase because I bought them for a costume (Dee Dee from Dexter's lab...yup, should have bought a light color and dyed them, but that's on me, lol) but I have danced en pointe in the past. I'd give these 5 stars for costume and 1 or 2 stars for legit ballet class. And I knew the risks I was taking buying online. I've been spoiled because I've always purchased pointe shoes locally and had shoes professionally fit. I probably never would have considered buying pointe shoes online, unless I was buying a replacement from the same manufacturer for a pair I'd had professionally fit. Before writing this review I had to do a little research online to learn more about the different platform configurations for pointe shoes, because I didn't want to be overly critical...I figured that I only knew the shoes I used and wanted to get more info. I included a photo to show the different in what I'm used to (light pink) vs. these shoes (red) in the platform. These shoes are much wider than what I'd wear to dance class, which was OK for a costume. I was able to get them to fit by drawing the elastic tight. But it was wicked standing en point with these shoes, ouch! I'm guessing mostly because my feet are "Egyptian" shape and these shoes weren't close to what I was accustomed to. Fortunately this was a strange Halloween, nowhere to go, really, so these served the purpose.

Shoes were much too small. My granddaughter could not get her feet into them and I ordered a half size larger to be safe. I should have ordered a whole size larger. This was a birthday present. She was very dissappointed 😥

I liked how they fit. I did have to add some elastic to keep the shoes over my heels, but they work very well when I go on pointe. I did go a full size up, and they were just a little snug, but they fit well.

My 13yo loves these. They were her Christmas present. They are well made, and so beautiful.

I am so happy it arrived stitched and ready I was not looking forward to stitching my pointe shoes so I was thankful for that ! the shoe is very high quality as well as the ribbon and toe pads
