Hi-
This is just from my experience, and of what people have told me. So this may not apply to you.
If you're looking for a short vamp, your foot/toe shape is most likely an Elite. An Elite foot means that your toes are all pretty much the same length..or a 'box-like' shape. Which is good because that's the ideal foot for pointe. (;
I have a very Elite foot..so I've been recommended by many professional fitters and instructors to try Grishko Elites. I've worn these for awhile now and I love them. But however, just because they have a short vamp/Elite shape, doesn't mean you should get them. I also have a very strong arch, foot, and ankle. So if you don't have a strong arch, foot, or ankle these probably aren't the shoes for you. Other shoe brands, not just Grishko, have Elite fitting, too.

ballet dancers enable themselves to rotate or 'pirouette' on her toes by the use of very helpful pointe shoes.
