Sheila Beelam Posted January 9, 2015 Share Posted January 9, 2015 This may be of interest to those who haven't tried "Russian Pointe" shoes... On Monday 16th feb we are hosting a pointe shoe fitting day with one of the fitters from Russian Pointe, who is coming over from America to our shop! It's going to be appointment only and due to limited space will fill up quickly! You can book your slot between 11-4pm by phoning the shop or sending me a message here or by email 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DancerMiax Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 I have Russian Pointed from your shop actually! One girl at my school got them and now my teacher is in love with them and we are all starting to get them! I love Russian Pointes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulip Posted January 11, 2015 Share Posted January 11, 2015 What do you love about your russian point shoes Dancer miax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 My dd too is now in love with Russian Pointes, simply because they suit her feet! She says they are really comfortable, and she no longer suffers the blisters etc that she did with her previous make (that she'd worn for several years). The shoes come in a multitude of styles, widths, vamp heights and either rounded or V shape, and shank strengths. And last but not least, the fantastic fittings and service from Just Ballet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anon2 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Sheila, I wonder how much Russian pointe vary from Grishko? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Sheila, I wonder how much Russian pointe vary from Grishko? From my dd's experience they are a similar fit, but not so 'springy' as Grishko, but that could just be that particular Grishko Dream Pointe model.

Anon2 Posted January 12, 2015 Share Posted January 12, 2015 Dd didn't like the Draam pointes! Only lasted a couple of classes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tabitha Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 My DD loves her Grishko Dream Pointes and would love to try Russian Pointes as heard so many good things but unfortunately it would be a 3hr trip to get to JB's shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulip Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Are Russian points more suited to narrow feet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxi4ballet Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 Are Russian points more suited to narrow feet? They come in about 5 widths I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheila Beelam Posted February 1, 2015 Author Share Posted February 1, 2015 Russian pointes offer a large range of shoe styles, all with different height crowns, platform sizes etc. Then within each style you can specify vamp length, shank strength and box width. Vamps come in three heights and widths 1-5. You can then select a v shaped vamp or U vamp and with or without drawstring. We've found then a very popular brand and suitable for lots of feet, so long as you gave the breadth of stock available (which we do!) We still have a few fitting slots available for Monday 16th if anybody wants to speak to the Russian Pointe fitter and find out more about the shoes from the expert!
