Pointe shoes...Thanks!<br /><br />The slippers are all bloch.<br /><br />Pointe shoes are russian pointe polette, grishko elite (awful!), russian pointe grande (too big), grishko maya (happy!). <br /><br />In 2010 I got good enough to take the hour-long pointe class so I had 3 pairs of shoes in the process of finding 'my shoe'. But I think I've found it; that Maya does not have many hours left andcandicehttp://egobsd.org/log/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620316363664400359.post-41576067021118743402011-05-11T21:21:17.743+03:002011-05-11T21:21:17.743+03:00Hi Rori!

Still, I use about 4-5 pairs of flats each year. Since I started pointe last August, this is my third pair of pointe shoes. But we have only the one class per week!<br /><br />Thanks for your comment.
