Capezio 1143W Ava - #3.5 Shank

Broad Toe Box Pointe Shoe with #3.5 Shank

Designed for aspiring dancers and pointe students, this premium pointe shoe features a broad toe box and a reinforced #3.5 shank, 3/4 skived to zero, offering optimal flexibility and support. The high and wide platform enhances balance, making it easier to maintain control at the barre. This pointe shoe gently encourages new dancers to roll over the box, promoting flexibility and stretching in the metatarsals and ankles. Ideal for training, it also features a plush, anti-slip microfiber lining that prevents excess sweating and reduces friction to avoid blistering.
