Cherilyn Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 So I've just come across this video showing the making of R-Class pointe shoes. I think it's wonderful insight for students, parents, and professionals - enjoy! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucinda Posted February 22, 2019 Share Posted February 22, 2019 Thank you, it's fascinating and makes me feel much better about the considerable cost of buying pointe shoes for my DD when she was training. Given what is involved in making them, I think they are good value! She used to wear R-class shoes too. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TYR Posted February 27, 2019 Share Posted February 27, 2019 I just noticed a Sansha shop in Barcelona offering 50% off new pointes if you trade in the old ones so I am now wondering if they are recycling them somehow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I myself started wearing Maker N back around 1990 when I was a student at the School of American Ballet. I recall going into the School's pointe shoe room on Wednesdays (the one day of the week it was available to us) and being fascinated by all the options - how lucky we were! When I became a professional, I continued to use Maker N until the end of my performing career, of course customizing it to my liking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
