Fuzi's 3/4 shank pointe shoes are suited for nearly all arch types and feature a very flexible shank that is fully supportive en pointe, a pink satin upper and a leather sole. These pointe shoes make it easier to rise up and hold balance. Note: If you are shopping for a first pair of pointe shoes or a new style of pointe shoes, it is recommended that the shoes be fitted by a professional to ensure proper fit. Pointe shoes should only be worn with proper training and instruction. They can cause injury if worn improperly.
