Discovered all now the  same 'shoe' and now finally got name in all brands- sapfir / JW-S / stella .......... never thought finding pointe shoes would become so hard  - thankyou x

I spoke with Dancique last week and have been told that two things are now affecting supply of RClass shoes - a difficulty sourcing the satin and our government have introduced a 35% tax increase!!  Just when my DD had found a suitable shoe to replace her beloved Grishko 2007s.

 

But I also recommend speaking with them as they are always incredibly helpful and knowledgable

I think 4dance.co.uk stock Russian Pointes. They’re based in Surrey. I don’t think you can easily get Energetiks here, if at all. Never tried their pointe shoes on DD but I used to order leotards from them direct from Australia.

We were in The Dancer's Room today & they had Russian Pointe, R Class & many other brands of pointe shoes. We were also informed if the tax increase & the difficulty of getting Grishko, R P etc.

If you have any luck finding russian pointe shoes in the UK that can then be shipped to Aus let me know, finding a pair of energetiks in the right size is like hen's teeth here at the moment!
