The perfect pointe shoes for someone who has a high instep but needs a very flexible shoe?
NuculearGirl
if you have a high instep you are better off with a harder shoe unless you want to break your ankle. you will break a soft/flexible shoe in no time.
bottom line: go with a harder shoe. you can basically get any shoe with a harder shank. try freeds or Russian pointes
