Demi-Pointe Dance Shoes

Our half-pointe shoes are soft shoes for classical and modern jazz dance: they allow the foot to point and work the arch.

Choosing the right one

• The material: canvas for regular classes, satin for the stage, leather for support
• The sole: full-sole to strengthen the foot, split-sole to showcase it
• The size: glove-like fit, without curled toes
