Pointe Shoe Fitting

Contrary to popular belief, a well-fitted shoe does not need an ouch pouch! Combined with proper toe and Metatarsal taping, the shoe should support the first Transverse or Metatarsal arch, taking pressure away from the joints of the toes and reducing the risk of injury.

The shank of the pointe shoe should support the Longitudinal arch correctly, and the dancer’s heel should be supported through the correctly fitting heel combined with the ribbons.  

Consider that the foot has a natural three points of support system, which works perfectly well when we are walking, running dancing or standing. On Demi-Pointe the three points of support move forwards to give perfect support to the big toe and the ball of the foot, but when we go on pointe the support is lost as we now only have a platform to stand on. Now the pointe shoe must replace the three points of support.

A complimentary pointe shoe assessment is available with Esther Juon. If any adjustments are needed, a pointe shoe fitting can be scheduled.

Cost of Pointe Shoe Fitting: $50.00 in person.

Cost of assisting a pointe shoe fitting via facetime / facebook messenger: $25.00 per 30 minutes.

About our shoes

We have modified the Grishko pointe shoes to make them support the Australasian foot correctly and we only supply our shoes to Pointe shoe fitters who we have trained in the Juon Pointe System.

At the moment, we have a limited stock of pointe shoes available, but we are committed to helping dancers find the perfect fit. We offer personalised online assessments and fittings, where we guide you through the process step by step. After the initial fitting, we can accompany the dancer through store’s fitting session via Zoom or FaceTime, ensuring that they get the right shoe for their needs. Our goal is to provide tailored support and ensure every dancer feels confident in their pointe shoes.
