Virtisse Enigma Soft Shank Pointe Shoe
These pointe shoes are made from a new, modernized last which is engineered with a fuller box that follows the evolution of the shape of dancers’ feet and the use of toe pads. Enigma’s protective padding inside the toe box, a machine-stitched leather sole, and long wings provide excellent balance, support, and stability for greater contact with the floor with enhanced comfort and less pressure on the feet. Lightweight with noise-reducing technology in the box, Enigma is recommended for dancers with a low to medium arch.
