Gaynor Minden pointe shoes are wonderfully different. Gaynor Minden pioneered the use of high-tech impact reduction in pointe shoes and their shock absorbing design is now doctor-recommended. Their unbreakable shank flatters the foot while ensuring buoyant support and a durability unattainable in conventional pointe shoe construction. All of our Gaynor Minden's fitting and sizing are different too. Because they are made from advanced materials that do not deteriorate or lose their shape, they must never be fitted too tight, too wide, or too stiff. When ordering your Gaynor Minden shoes, Discount Dance Supply allows the dancer to not only specify the size and width but also the shank and box shape of her shoe without a costly special order. This lets the dancer customize her pointe shoes to best serve her own individual needs. All or our Gaynor Minden shoes have a deep vamp, high heel and either the unbreakable ExtraFlex, Supple or Hard shank. If you have not been professionally fitted in a pair of Gaynor Minden shoes, we suggest you visit the retailer nearest you and purchase your first pair of shoes from them.

The Mirella Elegance Pointe Shoe has a lowered profile and very streamline aesthetic. The cushioned pleating and pasting method all combine together to create an extremely quiet shoe. Delicate and lightweight, this shoe has an oval shaped platform for ease of balancing and turning en pointe. The sides and heel of the shoe have been lowered, complimenting the "Open U" shaped vamp to truly highlight any dancers' instep and arch. The shank of the MS138 is pliable yet sturdy to hold up in long classes or rehearsals. The shank is glued down to the newly designed leather outsole thus eliminating the need for a tack. The flat leather outsole will act as the perfect guide; bending with the electrical board and shank at the correct 3/4 position of the dancers foot. The dancer will have the utmost control and articulation and as a result the dancer will feel as though she is "lifted", able to remain en pointe all day! Minimize

The Synergy by Bloch is constructed on the Y-Last. This last has been developed for the more advanced dancer. The Y-Last is wider around the metatarsals and their joints to accommodate bunions. The box is constructed with a special pasting method, using paste that is designed to shape itself to the dancer's foot when moist. This combination of paste and pasting method promotes fast and easy break-in and is also responsible for a large reduction of noise on the floor. The box also has a very solid toe for support and longevity shank has a red board body and a leatherboard centerpiece. This full shank contains no tack or glue on the heel. This allows the shank to bend easier at 3/4, reducing the pressure on itself and the shoe. This results in the dancer being supported height and straight under the arch without having to fight to get there. Minimize

This quiet shoe  also features a curved last. Ribbons not included.About TMT:  Your shoes are labeled 'left' and 'right'. Once you have activated TMT with each shoe, they will be molded to the form of either your left or right foot.  Until now, the process of breaking in pointe shoes has been long and painful.  It is not until a pointe shoe is 3/4 of the way through its lifespan that it reaches optimal performance and comfort.  To redress this imbalance Bloch has developed TMT, an advanced formula, heat activated paste.  TMT enables you to drastically accelerate the breaking-in process by molding your pointe shoes to the unique contours of your feet from the very first wear.

This is the shoe that makes the dancer feel like they should stay on pointe all day. The Balance shoe is built for students through to professionals.

The width of the Balance also gives the toes more room: reduces displacement of the big toe joint and the development of bunions. The insoles conform to the arch supporting the ankle joint and surrounding tendons. The low profile on the shoe allows for the perfect continuation of the leg line. The sides are cut low for reduced bagginess and the side seem has been redesigned for reduced creasing. Thin, low bulk, soft binding, thin outsole and elastic binding for an improved overall fit.

The Shimano SH-X50 Shoe doesn't need a fancy name to impress you. In fact, instead of picking a fancy name for the shoes, Shimano engineers focused on building a rock-solid mountain bike shoe at reasonable price. Starting with a fiberglass-reinforced nylon soleplate and multi-density rubber sole, Shimano tackled the fine line between grip, stiffness, and ever-so-important durability. Sturdy synthetic leather won't let a few tumbles and scrapes destroy the shoe's integrity, while the micro-adjust buckle and two extra-large hook-and-loop straps keep things tight and responsive. When cleaning the next hill simply isn't in the cards, you'll appreciate the ability to install studs so you can at least walk comfortably up the hill. Minimize

Introducing the revolutionary pointe shoe, the B Morph. Developed by Bloch in conjunction with elite dancers from around the world, the B Morph is the fastest pointe shoe in the world to be broken in. The B Morph is moulded to perfection by the individual dancer by applying direct heat from a hair dryer to the parts of the shoe that the dancer wants to adjust. The special D Paste becomes pliable once heated, allowing the dancer to work the shoes to their liking by bending with their hands or walking gently around the studio. Once satisfied the dancer simply places the moulded shoes into their fridge over night and the paste will set hard like a new pair of shoes, ready for use, tailored to the individual dancers needs. The shoes can also be placed in the fridge after any heavy sessions so that they return to as new condition, prolonging the life of the shoes. Minimize
