  1. Also just to help you in the future - we can customise parts of the shoes to make them last longer. Do get in touch if you need assistance.
  2. Not sure if I have fitted you yet Elise? But I can help! I stock the widest variety of Grishko models in the world. I get booked up in advance though so do drop me an email if interested.
  3. Thanks for your words. "The factory she was ordering from was closing" - I just wanted to know what you meant by that as I did not say this? There was a delay due to COVID with custom orders but I certainly did not say the factory was closing
  4. Please be rest assured Grishko as a company are thriving. There were backorders due to COVID related issues (some other brands also faced this issue). Mr Grishko is Ukrainian indeed and the work force are many nationalities. Shipments are still fine (exported usually from the Prague distribution) and indeed sometimes from Russia. Retailers can still order with no problems. Of course like any brand, if something is out of stock at distribution it will need to be made but the factory are catching up with the backlog now and doing great at it. Plus, it helps if retailers can check what sells the most for them and order in advance to have enough on their shelves coming into stock to cope with demand if possible
  5. I got a great one with good support and smooth cups from debenhams! it was about £25 i believe but really worth it as it washes well too
  6. I consulted the help of a physio to assist me in learning how to do it. But you can also watch youtube videos by physios. But honestly, it is best to seek professional advice because everyone is different
  7. I have found this too... Especially with students I fit who typically wear harder shanks. I have done a video about it actually which will go up soon. Basically, the science is, if you have a super strong foot you need a shank that bends to the arch better. If it's just straight and not conforming right it will have a much higher chance of snapping and not lasting in general.
  8. Pointe shoes are meant to last a total of 9 hours which a lot of people forget lol. I suggest if she is doing a few classes per week she really needs to be using a couple of pairs per week (rotating shoes) so that each pair gets a chance to dry out properly and extend their life span. I also recommend making sure they are the right width, if there is sinking going on then the platform and box will be dying faster. And I also recommend use of shellac and glue too.
  9. It took me ages to find "the shoe" but for me it's Grishko Maya 1 special order. My special order usually consists of: - Maker number 18 - One shoe 4 X one shoe 4.5 X or both 4.5 X but I think I prefer the combo as my feet are different enough. - Super soft shank or soft shank with easy roll thru - Vamp made 1cm lower with drawstring - Side quarters sometimes made lower - Platform made a little wider I have tried many many brands and styles of shoes and wastes tons of money over the years. But this is certainly the shoe for me.
  10. I use this for my plantar fasciitis and it works a treat!
