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...
Nikolay NeoSmart - Pointe Shoe Review

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...

Josephine reviews the Ava and Ava Strong pointe shoes, by Capezio! Though Josephine has spoken about this shoe before, this is an updated review! The Capezio Ava is created on a curved last which helps dancers to get over en pointe a bit easier. The box of this pointe shoe is quite broad, which makes it easy to balance on! The platform is slightly tilted to help dancers get over the box easily. The inside of the box of the Ava has a microfiber lining, which can be a bit tough to sew through, but it is moisture wicking and sticks...
This Is Why Teachers Hate Russian Made Pointe Shoes | Pointe Shoe Review

Josephine reviews the newest pointe shoe from Nikolay/Grishko, the NeoVictory! The stereotype of Russian made pointe shoes is that they are very hard, narrow, loud, and tapered. The Nikolay NeoVictory is the exact opposite! The platform on these pointe shoes is very wide and stable! The vamp and wings are quite high as well, so you get a lot of support and easy balance from the box of this pointe shoe. The inside of the box on the Nikolay NeoVictory has a cushiony microfiber lining for extra comfort! The throat of these pointe shoes is a wide U-shape, with an elastic drawstring,...
