Grishko Pointe Shoes - Vaganova | Ulanova I | Ulanova II | Elite | Fouette

Description

Beautiful pointe shoes by Grishko. We have had these shoes for a few years now and we are trying to get rid of our old inventory. Sizing is usually two sizes down from the street shoe however, we recommend getting fitted for pointe shoes before purchasing especially if you have a unique foot or are a beginner.
Ribbon and elastic sold separately!
Elite
An ideal choice for a dancer who has wide, square feet and a normal or low arch. The broad platform is excellent for balance on pointe, offering optimal stability. The shoe has a U-shaped low vamp that provides perfect fit and comfort. The Elite is not pre-arched, and like our other Eleve models, it allows an easy transition from demi-pointe to pointe and back.
Ulanova I
The Ulanova I is made on the same last as the Fouette, however unlike the Fouette, the Ulanova I is an Eleve model pointe shoe which allows the dancer to roll-through pointe. This shoe has a versatile box which is good for dancers with short toes, toes of even length, and wide feet with normal heels. The Ulanova I’s vamp is of medium height and fits many different types of feet.
Ulanova II
This all hand-made shoe features a V-shaped, deep vamp, the same as the Vaganova, but is an Eleve model shoe. This is a great pointe shoe for those with longer toes, and especially those with a second toe that is longer than their big toe. The shoe has a narrow toe platform and is ideal for those with a wide metatarsal area with narrow heels.
Vaganova
This Releve model pointe shoe features a deep, V-shaped vamp and tapered box like the Ulanova II. The Vaganova provides termendous support to the metarsal and is an ideal shoe for a dancer with narrow feet or heels, and with high flexible arches. Thanks to a narrow box and small platform, the shoe makes the foot visually longer and more elegant.
Fouette
Our most popular Releve model pointe shoe. The Fouette accomodates the Russian technique of “springing” onto pointe which develops a more elastic foot and teaches the concentration of balance of the body on one spot. The shoe has a V-shaped medium vamp and fits standard feet. The medium toe platform, similar to the Ulanova I, provides perfect balance and placement. Sound absorbing Pro Technology makes the shoe practically silent on stage. The shoe is entirely handmade and is preferred by dancers who who wish to feel closer to the floor.
