Pointe shoes for wide and strong feet... low arches... slightly tapered... and average length toes?
Tedroxie0222
I would go with a Grishko Elite. Those are very good for wide feet. Also, any kind of Blochs work too. And then there are Russian Pointes. Those are very hard. There are lots of different varieties of them so i suggest you try them all :)

What type of pointe shoe is best for a girl with low arches and long and tapered Egyptian toes?
Some stores have people who will have you try on many different pairs of pointe shoes to find the best pair for you. There isn't really a certain kind.
What are the best pointe shoes for a girl with low arches and Egyptian toes?
i can rcommend the grishko 2007 pointe shoes. they work very well for all kinds of feet.
How do dancers prepare for Pointe?
they have to train for many many years. have perfect balance, good turn out, and high pushed arches.
Is have Grishkos for your first pair of pointe shoes bad?
Everyone has differently shaped feet, so it just depends on the person. Grishkos often have harder shanks, which will make it more difficult for a beginning pointe student to get their arches all the way over the box. Grishkos are great pointe shoes, however, but they might not be right for you feet - go to a store and have yourself fitted for the right brand of pointe shoes if it's your first time.
I am trying to find a GOOD pointe shoe for my type of feet. I have Bloch European blances size 6. XXXX and they are OK but not the best. I have-Slightly slanted toes. kinda peasnet style. WIDE feet?
MY ANSWER HAS BEEN IMPROVED!!! PLEASE READ!Same problem. I have European Balance too (and same size... I think), but looking for new ones. The heel of the European Balance has this stupid padding that digs into my Achilles and the shoe itself doesn't look pretty on my foot. (LOVE THE PLATFORM, THOUGH!) I have wide feet, strong feet, low arches, slightly tapered toes, and average length toes.***PLEASE TRY RUSSIAN POINTE RUBINS! At first, I thought I hated them. They are very different from Blochs. But once you get used to them, they're wonderful. They are very wide with a big platform. Much different style than the Blochs though. Different feel too. It took me a good month to realize how much I love them, but I encourage you to give them a try. Blochs looked like a boat on my foot, even though they fit my foot correctly. They were always very heavy. Like in jumps, they always weighed me down. Russian Pointe Rubins are lightweight, wide, and they look beautiful on your foot. If you don't like these, also try the new Russian Pointe Luminas. Similar to the Rubins, just a different feel that you may prefer. Please message me at Tedroxie0222 and keep me updated.

How do you prepare yourself for your pointe shoes-anytechiniques for faster arches and stronger feet?
Practice streching your feet every day and hold your pointe for at least 1 minute to help your arches and get stronger feet. In practice, try your hardest and have fun!

Why do ballerinas wear pointe shoes?
Pointe shoes is when a ballerina's foot is strong enough to wear them, they wear them to advance in ballet and to have the part of lifting off the ground as of being closest to flying. Not all ballerinas wear pointe shoes; some wear slippers (demi-pointe shoes), either because they are not strong enough, or because they have high of arches on their feet so it would not be safe for them. With hard work and practice a ballerina's foot can become strong enough at a time when they can go on pointe
Should you use split soul ballet shoes for point work?
No. For pointe work you need to build strong arches with a full-sole. Split-soles are best used only for professionals and performances.

Can i be a prima ballerina even though i have terrible feet?
Yes, you can! If you have talent as a ballet dancer, you can be a ballerina. You just need to work hard at building up your arches, and strengthening your feet. You can do this by wearing good, supportive street shoes, working with a theraband as much as possible, and asking your teachers for ways to build your arches in class. Certain pointe shoes can also make your feet look good or bad. Ask your teacher what kind of pointe shoes you can wear to emphasize your arch. Hope this helps!
Can a danseur go on pointe?

What is the collective noun for arches?
Some arches/a few arches
Which pointe shoes are best for intermediate dancers with a high arch but can't get over all the way on to pointe?
I would always recommend Freed. Freed Studios are great for class, they help develop strong feet. If you can't get all the way over, you need to do some feet strengthening exercises. Also stretch your arches. Look into 3/4 shank shoes for performances.
