Description

NEW! Premium Weave satin, pliable construction, and flexible microfiber vegan sole for secure alignment and effortless roll-through.

Specify your model, length, width, box, shank, vamp, heel, and tip for a precise, professional fit — it’s the custom pointe shoe you don’t have to special order.

Classic: For a “U” shaped foot: the metatarsal, midfoot, and heel are generously cut.

Sculpted: For a slightly tapered foot with a “waist”: cut with an ample metatarsal, a snug midfoot, and a narrow-medium heel.

For a tapered “V” shaped foot: cut with a slim metatarsal and a truly narrow midfoot and heel.

Gaynor Mindens usually fit one to one and a half sizes longer than your U.S. street shoe size. Not every Length is available in every Model. If you require a Length that is not available, try selecting a different Model.

Width fits the metatarsals and mid-foot. Not every Width is available in every size combination. If you require a Width that is not available, try changing your previous selections.

The Box fits the toes and metatarsals. Not every Box is available in every size combination. If you require a Box that is not available, try changing your previous selections.

Gaynor Minden shanks do not break in or soften, and all are equally durable and long-lasting. Make sure your new shoe is pliable enough to allow you to achieve a high demi-pointe easily.

Most dancers are best served by our FeatherFlex, Supple, and ExtraFlex shanks.

The Deep vamp comes standard on all sizes and models, and is 1/4″ (0.6 cm) longer than the Low vamp. If you are ordering a Low vamp, it will take longer to ship.

Dancers who wear a Gaynor Minden size 6 or shorter might prefer a Low vamp.

The High heel is 3/8″ (1 cm) longer than the Low heel.

High heels are standard on our Classic and Sculpted models. You can still order a Low heel, but it will take longer to ship.

Low heels are standard on our Sleek models. You can still order a High heel, but it will take longer to ship.

Suede tips provide excellent durability and are standard.

For a completely vegan shoe, choose Satin tips! This is a special order and NOT RETURNABLE.
