Some students start off with Grishkos or my personal favorites, Gaynor Mindens. Definitately consult with your dance teacher, first though. They'll know your strengths and weakness and will be able to recommend a good pair for you. I recommend getting professionally fitted AND getting your shoes (once you have been fitted) checked by the teacher in charge at your studio to make sure that they are absolutely right for your foot... Everyone's foot is different and as you grow your feet change shape... I personally have been in 3 different brands of pointe shoes, but I know people who have been in many more than that... Personally for me the best shoes that I ever wore were Veronese by Chacott. After I danced for a while everyone told me that I had to get new shoes because my feet were too strong. I never found a shoe that I liked more then Veronese by Chacott. I just started pointe and I thing block is the best ever. I encourage people to get fitted. I started pointe last year and my pointe shoes are Chacott. I love them so much. They break in really easy and they lasted me a year which is really good for pointe shoes. If the shoes seem extra cheap, don't but them, my friend got some for a great deal, except the sole wouldn't break in at all, it was like hardwood, and the box of the shoes were slippery. Watch out for super cheap shoes, mine costed about 70 dollars. I've danced in too many pairs of shoes to count (my feet are shaped really weird :-) Anyways, I wore Grishkos for a very long time, but it eventually got to the point where I would wear them out in one month, and they were getting really expensive for me to get a new pair so often. So my teacher reccomended Russian pointe shoes, and i tried them and they are amazing. They are built very similar to grishkos, but they are much more sturdy and last a lot longer (more like 3 or 4 months for me) I'm a male in the art form, but I've heard the best of things about Bloch Sonatas. And They go on and on and on about their shoes like all women, even in dance class--believe me. And when the shoes are the pinniclle
