Capezio has announced some amazing changes to their pointe shoe line. All models will be equipped with these new features.
Soft Cotton Lining-The inner lining of the shoes will now all have a soft fabric that is much more comfortable, and conforms to the foot.
Satin Binding-Now the fabric used to create the binding of the pointe shoes will be made of the same satin as the shoes. This will make a more pleasing line of the foot, by having less of a transition between shoe and tight colors.
Graduated Sole and Shank-The sole of the shoe has been shortened and the shank has been lengthened in order to have less bulking at the heel. This also will make it more comfortable on the heel when the dancer is standing flat in her shoes.
New Pleat Construction-Noisy shoes are gone! New pleating method incorporates a quiet piece to absorb most sound.
Feathered Box-There is now no paste below the binding on the box portion of the shoe. This will allow the dancer to roll through demi-pointe with ease.
Shorter Sole-The sole has been shortened on the shoe to be less visible when the dancer stands on pointe.
Reinforced Back-Strap-Now the back seam has been reinforced to help eliminate splitting.
All of these enhancements are really setting the Capezio line of pointe shoes ahead. We are looking forward to fitting these improved shoes. Please take a few minutes to hear directly from Capezio about the enhancements that have been made.
