2dancersmum Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 DD currently in Bloch pointe shoes but her teacher has reccommended shoes with a stronger shank - suggested Freeds but I can't find anywhere locally that offers more than Bloch and Capezios and I'm not sure we can fit in a pointe shoe fitting in London. Can anyone recommend anywhere from Birmingham southwards as far as Bristol. Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drdance Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 If you don't mind travelling for a fitting it's worth a trip to Earl Shilton (between Hinckley and Leicester) to Suffolk Pointe. Mark Suffolk used to work for Freeds many moons ago and as a teacher I strongly recommend his shoes (in fact as a dancer they ended up being my shoe of choice!) http://www.suffolkpointe.com/ThePointeShop.html?preview=158 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2dancersmum Posted August 17, 2012 Author Share Posted August 17, 2012 thanks for the advice - managed to get a fitting for next week so hopefully she will be sorted before she goes off to vocational school in September. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
