Another example of a good vs bad pointe shoe fitting with our student Abigail.
This is what @straighttothepointeballet had to say:
Believe it or not it is possible to not be put in the best Grishko pointe shoe model for you. Here’s Abigail in her old 2007 model (not fitted by me) compared to the Grishko Maya 1!
In the 2007 model there are several reasons why this is wrong for Abigail:
- vamp too long
- shank chosen was medium, it was too strong for her. Despite wearing them for a long time, no Demi pointe and not breaking into her arch. Forcing her backwards.
- box too tapered for her toe configuration
- profile height squeezing her too much

But they are so new…some more fitting training is needed! 😔
