In-Store Pointe Fitting | Palmerston North Store

Our 30–45 minute pointe fittings are designed to find the right shoe for each dancer, no matter where they are on their pointe journey. Each fitting goes beyond just trying on shoes, with education around foot and shoe anatomy, shoe care, and how to maximise the life of each pair.

Ashley brings a holistic, dancer-first approach to pointe fitting, shaped by her experience as both a former dancer and a qualified teacher. Having trained at the New Zealand School of Dance before injury ended her full-time dance career at 18, she understands first-hand the physical demands of dance and the importance of injury prevention.

With extensive knowledge of modern pointe shoe technologies and styles, Ashley focuses on finding the best possible fit to support technique, comfort, and longevity. Pointe shoes are never treated as just a product — they are a key part of a dancer’s ongoing development.
