capezio! works AMAZINGGGG!

love them, and i only use them!

bloch makes over 30 styles of pointe shoe...they usually have something for every foot. capezio has some great shoes available...theres also grishko, russian pointe, gaynor minden, suffeck, sansha, harmonie, mirella and a whole slew of others. i would go to your local dance store (or the best dance store you can get to!) and have a fitting. i hands down sell more bloch pointe shoes than any other brand (we carry grishko, bloch, capezio, sansha, leos, russian pointe, principal, prima soft and fuzi), most likely at about 3-1. they also have released about 10 new styles in the last year or so, and your local store might not have brought those in yet. you can also special order shoes from bloch or capezio (as well as many other pointe shoe vendors) that have custom specifications for your needs, but be ware that this process may take several tries before you get it right....its not an exact science!

well it depends on what your foot is like, but personally i prefer Griskos.

which bloch's have you tried? give them another chance! you should see a pointe shoe fitter instead of asking people who know nothing about you or your feet.

Well I would choose whatever the person who fits you or your teacher thinks but I use Grishko they are supposed to be like extra tight...and they are lol. But yeah Grishko is good try those.

iTS VERY iMOPORTANT YOU TALK TO YOUR DANCiNG TEACHER ABOUT THiS, iF YOU WERE TO CHOOSE THE WRONG POiNTE SHOE, IT COULD DO DAMAGE TO YOUR ANKLE! ASK YOUR DANCiNG TEACHER, SHE SEES YOU DANCE SO SHE WiLL DECIDE WHiCH KIND OF POiNT SHOE YOU SHOULD GET

I WEAR SYLPHIED

CONGATZ ON THIS MiLESTONE iN YOUR DANCiNG!

Capezio is a great choice a great amount of people use their Glisses. Or if not you should try Gaynor Mindens, they are a best seller, also. I must say bloch, isn't a very quality brand compared to Freeds and capezio. :)

Blotch or serenade(not sure how to spell)
the blotch are ok
i use scerenade they are soo good!
but it really depends on what kind of foot u have!

it all depends on what type of foot you have.
for a small foot go with Chacott.
capezio is great for really any type of foot!

I fit pointe shoes for about 5 billion years. Without seeing your fit, its hard to say, but if those are the style youve tried, I think you might really like gambas, or the merlet empriente. They are similar in shape, but a bit of a different structure.
It sounds like you may have a wider foot, so these styles may work well. I do agree though, there are tons ofbloch styles, so you may just need to expirement.
