Handmade in Europe

Gaynor Mindens are now only made in Europe - the Lyra model feels a bit different but functions similarly to US production.  Lyra provides dancers with similar placement, articulation, and roll-through.

  • Lasts 3 - 5 times longer than traditional pointe shoes!
  • Unbreakable molded shanks and boxes.
  • New Premium Weave Italian Satin
  • Microfiber vegan outer sole:  flexibility, pliable, effortless roll-through, high demi-pointe, secure alignment for excellent balance and nice articulation — especially of the forefoot.
  • Genuine Roger’s Corp. Poron® Performance cushioning - Higher cost due to unparalleled durability, comfort, and quietness from highest quality foam.
  • Recommended for dancers who prize expressive footwork with a pliable shoe.
  • Available 100% vegan when special ordered with satin tips.

No Break In Period!

The molded shanks and boxes never weaken or deform, so Gaynor Mindens last an average of 3-5 times longer than conventional paper and paste pointe shoes.

  • Dance ready!  No need to break-in. 
  • Overly manipulating synthetic shoes may damage the structure of the shoe.
  • No need to soften a stiff shank - simply choose a more pliable shank and enjoy the benefits of a lighter, more flexible shoe from the start.
  • Keep them well-ventilated and allow them to dry thoroughly between uses. 
  • Lyra pointe shoes are made-to-order, which can take up to six weeks.
