Tensus Demi

$84.00

We recommend getting fitted by our professional fitters before you buy a new pair of pointe shoes.

SKU: N/A Category: Tag: Brand:

BLOCH first developed the Demi-pointe shoe in the 1960s, as a transitional shoe to help train dancers for pointe work. The Tensus Demi is suited to dancers with narrow heels. The Demi Pointe is more structured than a ballet flat and the sole and box provide resistance, helping to build the necessary strength in the foot and leg muscles required for pointe work.

  • Tempered platform and U-shaped vamp
  • Square shaped box, low cut sides and a narrow heel combine to accentuate the profile of the foot and suit the dancer with a narrow heel
  • Full leather outsole supports the foot and creates a smooth surface and stability
  • Cotton drawstring
  • The Tensus Demi has a leather outsole and is made on the same last as the Aspiration pointe shoe
  • The last shape supports the foot and creates a smooth surface and stability when running, walking or standing flat

Notes: Ribbons and elastic sold separately

Each new pair of dance shoes, especially pointe shoes, should always be fitted by an experienced dance shoe specialist. The correct shoe choice is vital to the health of a dancer’s foot. In order for a shoe to fulfill its function, it must fit properly. An ill-fitting shoe can contribute to the misuse or injury of a dancer’s muscles and tendons. As a dancer becomes stronger and more knowledgeable in her technique, her feet can change. For this reason, the fitting process remains necessary with each new pair of shoes.
