The Demi Pointe/soft block shoes are made especially for the beginner. Strongly recommended for use in preparation for Pointe work. They will strengthen the foot and ankles and get the foot used to working in the confined space of a Pointe shoe. It also makes the fitting of an actual pointe shoe much easier. 
 
It is highly recommended that dancers use these shoes for at least 3-6 months before going onto pointe.  These shoes have a V-shaped medium vamp, and 1/2 box which provide no pressure on the forefoot. The medium toe platform provides perfect balance and placement. The shoe is all handmade and fits standard feet. They are made of pale salmon satin with a glued smooth leather sole.
