A1142W - Pink Ava Pointe Shoe

The Ava Pointe Shoe, model A1142W, is a premium choice for dancers seeking both comfort and performance. Crafted with a broad, feathered toe box and a combination full 2.5" leather board and red board shank, this shoe offers flexibility and support to the arch. Its high and wide platform provides the necessary balance at the barre, making it ideal for dancers with a broad (Roman) foot. The removable medical grade gel cushion on the internal edge of the platform adds an extra layer of comfort, ensuring long-lasting wear without compromising on style.

Key Features and Specifications

The Ava Pointe Shoe is designed with a host of features that cater to the needs of dancers. It boasts a broad inner toe box, a moderate vamp, and a slight u-shaped throat, providing a comfortable fit. The shoe is equipped with satin binding and an elastic drawstring for a secure closure. The plush, anti-slip microfiber lining prevents excess sweating and blisters, while the internal heel counter offers additional structure at the heel. The bias side seam elongates the line of the foot, contributing to a sleek and professional appearance. The shoe also features a lowered profile, a moderate hand-flattened crown, and a slightly slanted platform that encourages the dancer to go over the box. The removable surgical gel on the internal platform edge alleviates toe pressure, and the reduced sole length eliminates excess at the heel. The 1142W model offers a full #2.5 leather board/red board combination shank for flexibility to the arch.
