Amelie
$106.00
We recommend getting fitted by our professional fitters before you buy a new pair of pointe shoes.
Amelie is an introductory pointe shoe featuring a medium shank. Designed for dancers with less developed muscles in the feet and legs who may be new to pointe work.
- The graded medium strength shank allows the foot to roll up onto pointe with ease
- Angled platform stabilises the foot
- Makes moving from flat to pointe easier and emphasises the line of the instep
- Medium sides
- Slight V shaped vamp and shallow box (which gently curves at the sides) support the toes laterally and keep the foot in correct alignment en pointe
- The gently curved sides of the box encourage the foot into correct alignment when en pointe, while the shallow box encases and supports the toes laterally
- B paste
- Elastic drawstring draws the shoe in around foot
- Noise reduction under the pleats
- The combination of these features makes the Amelie styles suitable for a variety of foot shapes, especially for the beginner or elementary level dancer who requires a flexible shoe
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.
