As far as I know, Grishko's and Capizio's tend to be the strongest. If you are lucky enough to ever go to NYC, see if you can get especially fitted Capizios that will literally be made for your foot. Many professional dancers have their own personal shoe, so you might seriously want to consider this if you are thinking about making dancing a career.

Another helpful tip, go to a hardware store and buy yourself some resin hardener. This stuff is a miracle worker. You can literally put it right on the outside sole of the arch on your shoe and it will get your threw another 2-10 classes depending on the strength of your foot. If you are at all like me, this would save me from buying 3-4 pairs a month to 1-2 a month, which makes a huge economically difference. And if you aren't doing this already, ROTATE POINT SHOES. You are bound to get more life out of your shoes.

Merde.

i know that they where out realy quick but they probbaly are the best to use as they are what you like never go with a shoe that is uncomfortable they have potential to seriously injur
take it from someone who has had the experience

Yeah, you should probably stick to the grishkos, since they're comfortable for you. If you really want to find something that lasts longer, try going to capizio's and get fitted. Ask to try on different shoes, and see if you can find another one that you like. Good luck.

maybe try a different grishko, if you have tried the 2007 maybe try the vagonova or the fouette. You should really speak with a fitter because they will give you better recommendations.

have you tried capezios? i know they dont wear too quickly. but i also know that it only matters on what fits your foot right, so the grishkos might just be the right shoe for you.
