La sylphide Posted July 19, 2023 Share Posted July 19, 2023 Hi my DD has really strong feet and we struggle to find pointe shoes that last! We started with Bloch then moved to r class and she’s now wearing the freed studio professional hards, these look lovely and she loves dancing in them but they are lasting 1-2 weeks max and is getting expensive. Someone suggested the new virtesse does anyone have any experience with them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BattementBatty Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 We were finding the same - tried lots of pairs - and now she now R Class hard which seem to be better. Freed lasted barely any time but we didn't try the hard ones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legseleven Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Freed didn’t last for my DD either. She ended up using GM strong shanks but also liked Bloch strong and I think extra strong? shanks, although a pair of Blochs squeaked very amusingly (albeit embarrassingly) as they slowly died… 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millicent Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Gaynor Minden are great for strong feet as they don't break down like traditional shoes. They're meant to last 5 times longer but they are more expensive to buy in the first place. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legseleven Posted July 20, 2023 Share Posted July 20, 2023 Yes, the GMs were the only choice in the end - the additional cost was balanced by the additional longevity 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
