Pointe Shoes for Egyptian Feet

You have Egyptian feet if your big toe is longer than all your other toes.  Choosing a tapered shoe that holds the forefoot snugly is very important for this type of foot, otherwise the big toe suffers!  Unfortunately, there's not a huge range of pointe shoes for Egyptian feet.

Note:  vamp height in brackets.   l = long, m = medium, s = short, c = custom (i.e. shoe can be ordered in a choice of three vamp heights)
