Grishko are really good for stong and flexiable feet. The best way to find shoes is to go to a near by dance supply store and to try on a lot of shoes. You should also have a dance teacher or someone who knows how to fit shoes. After trying on a couple pairs you should find one that feels really good and comfortable. If you don't have any near by then check some websites that sell the shoes and check fitting. They should have some explainations of what size you should get and the hardness of the shank. Good luck!

But, of course, as always, go get professionally fitted somewhere. Always.

Maybe its not the shoes and please dont report this or anything but i know its you becauseyou need to practice MORE! i am on MY way to pointe shoes now but listen to this put your toe on the groundroll over over your toes and make an arch, put your pointe shoe next to your arch-your pointe shoe should be the same size as your arch!!!! if its not GET NEW SHOES!!! and remember to practice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go get professionally fitted.

And don't get gaynor mindens

You need to try on lots pointe shoes at a professional fitting to see what works for your feet. We can't tell you what will fit you.

And Gaynor Mindens are horrible.

Kinda sounds like my foot. I wear Bloch Suprima, but I have to put a special elastic on the back that I run my ribbons through to keep them on my heel (I ball of my foot is wide, but my heel is very narrow) You should really be professionally fitted, though.
