The Russian Pointe Encore pointe shoes will leave the audience wanting more! Classic yet contemporary, Encore pointe shoes combine a streamlined medium crown with a moderately tapered box and medium platform to suit dancers with tapered toes or one or two even-length toes, and shallow to slightly full feet. The tapered shape from metatarsal area to heel accommodates the "diamond" foot. Encore is constructed with a pre-arched design throughout the shoe that emulates the shape of the foot on pointe, enhancing the dancer's beautiful lines. The next-generation shanks of Encore provide improved flexibility and longevity. The pleating and box contours are made in the traditional method but with a streamlined look.
