Shoes by Foot Shape
I've often been asked if I can provide a list of recommended shoes based on foot shape.
It seems a pointless exercise when pointe shoe expert Ms Danielle deVor of Ballet Alert is already doing such a great job of it!
Once again I'd like to thank Ms deVor for providing such wonderful resources. Click the link below to go to her list of recommended pointe shoes based on foot type, toe length and foot profile:

What is Vamp?
Hi Cheryl,
The “vamp” is the front part of the shoe. If you have long toes you need a long vamp to cover your toes, if you have short toes you’ll probably prefer a shorter one.
I am working for my pointe shoes but i have one more year and i want to know can you tell me some easy workouts to help me get up there
Yes, there are exercises you can do! The absolute best solution is to buy the Perfect Pointe Book, which is packed full of different exercises you can do. However, if you just want one or two exercises,this post will help:

I have been comparing your list of shoes to the manufacturer’s websites and quite a few of them do not seem to be made any longer. I have looked at Russian Pointe, So Danca, Sansha and Suffolk. Has this list been updated recently?
You’re right, Rebecca, it’s a steady job trying to keep up with the changes in manufacturer’s ranges. I usually leave the page “up” after a model goes out of production, because suppliers may still have some in stock, and private individuals are still selling them on eBay. But it is probably time I deleted a few of them!
