The brand of the shoe really doesn't matter, each brand makes different models and styles with increased hardness for a variety of advanced and beginners. Try on EVERY brand you can until you find one that you personally (everyones feet are different) and that you can roll up on to the flat platform easily.
Never buy your first pair online or order from a catolog. Once you find one that supports your unique foot shape and strength and expireince you can odre in bulk onine.
If you are beginging pointe, go to a dance shoe store and tell them that its your first time going up on pointe, and they can help you find a shoe with the softest shank. Most of the time shoe fittings invlove the dancer, teacher and a parent, and can last up to two hours. When you go make sure your nails are clipped as short as they can be so the expirience is less painful.

What pointe shoes do you recommend?
Either Capezio or Bloch. You should visit a place that sells pointe shoes and they should tell you which size and shoe pads to buy. Personally, I hate Capezios, but I love Grishko and Russian Pointe ( actual brand name). Some people say they are the pointe shoes from hell, but I think they are exceptional, and look really professional and elegant on your feet.
