Well, yes your arch looks very good, but most importantly, your feet have to be very strong (which you mentioned are pretty strong).

Just make sure you take ballet class at least twice a week or more, and make sure your ankles and entire leg are strong and pulled up when you releve. Going on pointe will get stronger when you practice more and more. Do not rely on the solid box of the pointe shoe to keep you up, you should be able to hold yourself on balance through your strength.

it looks like a good arch.

if you aren't in pointe yet ask your teacher. it looks pretty good to me tho. thats the kind of arch that will help new pointe shoes curve to your foot.

no that looks great for pointe shoes

Your foot looks a bit like mine- there's a bit of a lower arch. Your feet look pretty strong and well developed, so you could give it a try once your teacher cleared you. Lots of them have specific tests that can determine wether or not you're ready. When/if you do get pointes, do not get 3/4 shanks. Trust me- they will kill your feet judging by your pic. Good luck- I think you'll do fine.

your ankles have to be strong too. how old are you? depending on how old you are/how long you've been dancing, there could still be a chance for bone deformities if you went en pointe too early.
