Pointe Shoes for Ballet

Explore the 4Dance range of pointe shoes from brands including Bloch, Grishko, RP, Virtisse, Freed, Capezio and Merlet.

If you already know the brand, model and size you need, you can browse the range below and shop online. Pointe shoes can vary considerably between brands and models, however, so dancers buying their first pair or reconsidering their current shoe may benefit from individual fitting support.

4Dance also offers specialist pointe shoe fittings from our shop in Byfleet, Surrey, where dancers can compare different options with an experienced fitter.

Choosing Your Pointe Shoes

A familiar shoe size or preferred brand does not necessarily determine which pointe shoe will suit an individual dancer. Different models can vary in width, profile, vamp, shank and overall shape.

For a first pair, follow your ballet teacher’s guidance before purchasing. If you are preparing for your first appointment, our first pointe shoe fitting guide explains what to expect, what to bring and how to prepare.

Pointe Shoes FAQs


Can I buy pointe shoes online from 4Dance?

Yes. If you already know the brand, model and size that you need, you can browse and buy pointe shoes online from 4Dance. If you are buying your first pair or are unsure whether your current shoes are still suitable, a specialist fitting may be more appropriate.

 

Do I need a pointe shoe fitting before buying my first pair?
For a first pair of pointe shoes, 4Dance recommends following your ballet teacher’s guidance and having the shoes professionally fitted. Different models vary in shape, width, profile, vamp and shank, so the right option depends on the individual dancer rather than shoe size alone.

 

Which pointe shoe brands does 4Dance stock?

4Dance stocks pointe shoes from a range of established dance brands, including Bloch, Grishko, RP, Virtisse, Freed, Capezio and Merlet. Available models, sizes and stock can vary, so check the current range on the page.

 

Can I book a pointe shoe fitting at the Byfleet shop?
Yes. 4Dance offers specialist pointe shoe fittings from its shop in Byfleet, Surrey. The fitting service allows dancers to try different options with support from an experienced fitter.

 

Should I buy the same pointe shoes as another dancer?

Not necessarily. Pointe shoes can fit very differently depending on the dancer’s feet and individual requirements. A shoe that works well for another dancer may not be the right option for you, so it is better to follow your teacher’s guidance and use professional fitting support where appropriate.
