Josephine reviews and compares Gaynor Minden's newest development, Lyra! After the closure of Gaynor Minden’s factories in America and their transition to Europe, a lot of changes occurred within the brand. Now we have two beautiful shoes, Europa and Lyra. Gaynor Minden uses a specific system for their pointe shoes that contain many specs including 5 different box shapes determining how tapered or broad the shoes are, as well as three different widths for the widest part of your foot ranging from narrow, medium and wide. With both the Lyra and Europa you also have an option for a high...

Josephine reviews the newest synthetic pointe shoe from Nikolay, the StarPointe! Made off of the SmartPointe last, the Nikolay StarPointe is generous across the metatarsal, has a slightly lower crown and more generous box, as well as a platform that is wide and flat making it easy to balance on. The StarPointe features a traditional box and a thermo-formable shank made out of synthetic material that comes in three strengths, soft-flexible, medium-flexible, and hard-flexible. Due to the synthetic material within the shank, the StarPointe has the potential to last longer than a traditional pointe shoe. The StarPointe has a slightly...

Josephine talks about the newest version of Nikolay’s 2007/Allure, DreamPointe! The DreamPointe, based on the 2007/Allure last is the newest version of this shoe that came out a long time ago! With a slightly tapered box made with natural materials, the DreamPointe features a shank made with synthetic materials that can make the pointe shoe last up to 3-4 times longer than a traditional shoe. In addition to the thermo-formable shank, the DreamPointe also is slightly more generous across the metatarsal than the 2007/Allure, and contains a slightly wider platform, making it an easier shoe to balance on. Adding on...

Josephine shares her true thoughts on the Bloch Heritage! The Heritage is one of Bloch’s most popular models of pointe shoes, featuring one of their most tapered boxes while still maintaining a medium sized platform that is stable and easy to balance on. The Heritage is made on a slightly curved last but is not quite as curved as other Bloch models, such as the European Balance. This pointe shoe has a full shank that is available in both a regular and strong strengths. The Heritage has sizes ranging from a 2-9 and widths ranging from 0-4 X. This pointe...

Josephine reviews the new NeoSmart pointe shoes by Nikolay! The NeoSmart is another variation of the SmartPointe! The SmartPointe featured a wider, more generous box and softer shank than many of the previous Nikolay models. The NeoSmart has a broader box with more room across the metatarsals and generally more volume inside the shoe. This is really great for people with wider feet and, though the 2007 last has been very popular, this new last is much more comfortable for many people. The box of the Nikolay NeoSmart has been shortened a little bit for better roll through. The vamp...
