You asked. Capezio listened. Introducing the Ava Strong Shank Pointe Shoe! This premium pointe shoe has a broad toe box and a reinforced #3.5 shank, 3/4 skived to zero.

Ava #3.5 is built on a high and wide platform for easy balancing at the barre. One of the best "training tools" for new pointe students; this shoe gently nudges dancers to go over the box, while promoting stretch in the metatarsal and ankle area.
