Pointe shoe question for dancers..?

Question:

I'm 16 I've been on pointe for years now!.!. I used to have chacott veronese and I LOVED THEM!.

My feet grew a tiny bit (they were already big--size 9 in womens, and my feet are very narrow!.!.so it's hard to find good pointe shoes) and I guess the chacott's don't come in a size bigger without being too wide for my foot!.

I've tried many different shoes!.!.!. and now I have grishko's!.!. and i really don't like them very much!. i need something with a softer shank!.!. and that would fit my feet better, does anyone have any suggestions for a brand I could try!? I think I'm going to get new pointe shoes soon so I want to have some idea for what I should try!.

THANKS! :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

I've found that Freeds are often good for a long, narrow foot!. Freeds classics are sold in "no x" width, (the narrowest width) for quite large feet!. Try them!. also, with Freed classics it's not hard to find a maker that fits your needs as there are so many different makers to chose from!. Once you've decided on a maker that works for you, you can special order them with your supplier to ensure they always have your size and maker available to you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
