Ballet Question.....10 PTS To Best!?

Question:Ok so, I have a VERY narrow foot. When I was getting fited for regular ballet slippers, the woman kept telling me how long and narrow they were. She also said I had a great arch.

Yes, this is another pointe shoe question. I was just wondering which shoe sounds, along the lines of a good one for me (don't worry, I am going to a perfessional fitting. I just want your opinions). I really like the Gyanor Mindens, but heard they are like cheater shoes. I also like Grishkos.

Please, any opinions, and links are greatly apprecitaed.
Thank you!!

It isnt that gaynors are cheater shoes, they're just very different from most other styles, and they dont hold up as well. For a narrow foot you may like the Capezio Pavlova or Nicolini. The Grishko 2007 is also lovely, and its unique because the shape is actually conducive to narrow feet or wide feet with tapered toes.

you like it than go there

I don't recommend the Gaynors. They cause really bad blisters and can make your foot weaker. If you have a really good arch you don't need the Gaynors. Here is a good link where you can look at different brands of pointe shoes:

Sometimes a specific designer fits best. I would just go to your fitting and see where that takes you. I used to buy one designer because I thought they were comfortable. When I went to my first fitting I found out that what I was wearing was ruining my arches and not helping my turnout. The professionals know best, so let them help you.
