DoGeekGirls Pointe Shoes Ballet Dance Toe Shoes for Professional Ladies Satin Pointe Shoes with Ribbon(Choose one Size Larger)

These are great! I bought them for a photo shoot.They are very nice. The shank is very rigid, as you may be able to tell in my blurry photo, but with some love, it breaks in like any other pointe shoe. The satin outside is very pretty and smooth. You’ll need to break traction if you’re going to actually dance in them.The box is kind of wide, but with toe pads it’s totally perfect for me! The included toe pads are great, although I prefer silicone. They cover the toes well, but the metatarsals may be uncomfortable if you have long toes like me. I ordered a full size up: I wear an 8 street shoe, so I ordered a 9 (43 EU). Without toe pads, I do sink, but the built-in elastics provide decent support if you’re traditional & for some reason you can’t exchange them. I haven’t sewn in my elastics yet, but I did end up choosing these over others because of the included toe pads, elastic, and ribbon for the price.Not on par with professional shoes by any means, but great if you’re on a budget, need them once or twice, and know what you’re doing. I don’t know if I could recommend these (or any pointe shoe) to anyone who isn’t trained OR as a practice shoe. I saw some people asking if they would be good for Halloween or something; if you’ve never worn pointe shoes before please buy the soft slippers instead or don’t try to go up on your toes. I’ve definitely seen some things.I may update in a few months to comment on their durability if I use them as practice shoes after the shoot.

I bought these for my eight year old who wears a size 3. I ordered them a bit bigger. They were too small for her. They are beautiful shoes and seem to be of good quality. We gave them to her friend who seems to enjoy them.

They were delivered on time. They were delivered in a thin bag and were smashed and had a black dirt stain on the front from not being in a box or wrapped in protective packaging. 😕 would have really liked to have instructions for cutting and attaching elastic and ribbons.. overall a good shoe for what we needed ... my daughter just wanted them for home practice. The toe inserts fell open at the seams but we replaced with silicone ones anyhow.. I would purchase these again if better care was taken in shipping.

It’s a very wide shoe.. if you know what you’re doing and just need something quick to practice in before the real this then go do it. For sure

The point shoes are nice and fit, however the reason I am giving only 3 stars instead of 5 was because we got red instead of pink, even the plastic bag it came in says pink but they aren’t. It was ok because my daughter liked them anyways because they were for a costume. But when she needs them for point this year I would have to return because red doesn’t work;).

My daughter loves the pointe shoes, but I’m giving it 3 stars because the string came out of it extremely easy, and we can’t get it back in. This defeats the purpose of the shoe because it’s unwearable as it won’t stay on.

This shoe is NOT a top-of-the-line shoe. I'm not certain I'd put an untrained dancer in these shoes but I don't have a dog in that hunt. They work for what I do.

They are cute and fit well. They are hard to break in and the ribbons are hard to see in.
