Esther Juon has always suggested (and we agree)Pointe shoes (soft blocks/ exam shoes) are a wonderful aid in preparation for pointe as they strengthen the feet and ankles, help with balance and get the foot used to working in a confined space. We also feel that this ultimately makes fitting and wearing a pointe shoe easier! See FAQ for more detail on this point.
This is the Perfect shoe to start you off on Pointe work. Based on the RC30 last, but a bit softer and more flexible everywhere, to get the dancer used to working through the shoe.
Ideally dancers should prepare for Pointe using the Demi Pointe/ Exam shoe for 6-12 months, and then progress to full Pointes such as RC22 or 32
