Women's Recital II Pointe Shoe

Beautiful but we had to return and order a bigger size because they were too small. I don’t know if we didn’t get the sizes or run small

the soles are good. The size is a joke. i am an 11 and my wife is an 8.5. I ordered size 11 wide and they don't fit either one of us. The back strap that shows to be attached in the description; however it was not in either shoe. The elastic bow at the top front of the shoe was not tied and only 1 elastic end was visible. The outside of the toe looked almost like it had water stains; however, the shoes were not worn. do not waist your time with these unless you enjoy returning sub par products

Beautiful construction, but I believe these shoes arrived used, not just tried on. Although too narrow in the box for me, I might have given them a chance if they weren't better condition.

I really loved how strong these are. Even as my first pair of pointe shoes, I noticed that they were extremely well made and are very hard to break into. One draw back: The strap isnt attached and you need to get some ribbons as they arent given with the shoes. I usually wear a size 9 street shoe and ordered a 12; I'm kind of wishing I got a 13 because they're a little tight, but I'll deal with them. Overall I think these are good pointe shoes for the beginners and am excited to start trying these out. The colour is superb and beautiful!

These are not the best even after I broke them in. In the picture down below they are not very pretty because I've warn them. But otherwise they are good but should be a lower price. They are not very supportive.

I have large fit and have never been able to find large sizes that fit. These fit and are very comfortable. I wear a mens street shoe 9.5 wide. I've tried the old rule of adding 2 sizes, but they never fit and are horribly uncomfortable. Instead I decided to add 4 (14) and got a perfectly comfortable fit. My big feet are happy!

I am a male dancer and do not perform on pointe but do at the advice of my instructor do pointe work for balance and strength. I used the sizing chart and ordered two sizes down fro my street size of size 10. The shoes came quickly and appear to be a quality shoe. The problem is I can't believe how small they run. I am unable to even get toes into the box and no way could I get the shoe on to my foot. Truly disappointed but rather than return them I am going to give them to one of the female dancers in my class. I am now of the opinion the only way to buy pointe shoes is to go in for a fitting. Advice would be to order the shoes at least the same as street size.

I should point out, I am using these while doing a Ballet Beautiful mat workout - simply because I think they look pretty. I am not actually dancing en pointe in these. But for my uses, they are wonderful. I wear an 8 street size so ordered an 11 XW. They are wide enough and the perfect length. I am very happy I ordered them!

Están muuuy pequeños pedí 28 para alguien que calza 27 y no le quedó ni a alguien que calza 25

Decent shoes but seems as if they were made of one cast as both shoes fit only the Right foot well. Once placed on the left foot, they feet crooked and sideways bulged.

It was a size or two too small, if your ordering, order a size up

CONS: These are literally 3 sizes too small. And very narrow. I am a street shoe size 7 and in ballet flats I am a 4.5. But in these pointes I am a size 10 apparently and might even need to select “wide” when I exchange them when my feet are actually considered narrow. So order 3x your shoe size or you will be disappointed. PROS: they are VERY pretty and come with an elastic sewn to one side. You need to adjust the unsown side to whatever length you want and sew it in yourself and don’t forget to buy your own ribbons. I love that the shanks are in the bag so you can choose to insert them or keep them out, using the shoes as demi pointes instead. I also love the mesh bag it comes with which is good for keeping the shoes aired out and dry. When I bought Sansha demi pointes at The Shoe Room I didn’t even get a sansha bag, so this was a nice surprise! The colour is a beautiful peach and they match perfectly with my stretchy elastic style ribbons.
