Love Brava? Level up to Baroque for a sleeker heel and support

We don't advise purchasing pointe shoes for dancers who aren't professionally trained; wearing them could cause damage to the feet.

Size & Fit Advice

Foot shape: RP, Baroque Pointe Shoes are made for “diamond” feet, even-length to slightly tapered toes with a narrower heel.
Box & crown: Slightly tapered box with a medium crown hugs the forefoot without crushing the met heads. If your toes are very square or very tapered, consider a different RP last.
Platform: Wide, pleated platform = easy balances and clean landings, great if you like stable pirouettes.
Vamp/Throat: V2 (medium) vamp and U-cut with drawstring give coverage while allowing roll-through. Cinch the drawstring just enough to seal the heel—never to “shrink” the shoe.
Shank: Flexible Medium Strong, supportive for center work and repertoire, pliable enough to articulate through demi.

Break-in: Pre-arched construction shortens break-in. Start with barre, then short center phrases before full rehearsals.

Sizing guidance: RP sizing doesn’t equal street-shoe sizing. Use your RP size chart and, ideally, get a professional fitting. A correct fit feels snug at the sides and heel with toes flat on demi; no sinking, box twisting, or visible bagging at the heel.

Materials & Construction

Upper: Premium satin in RP Pink.
Box: Traditional paste & layered materials with a slightly tapered profile for diamond feet.
Lining: Soft, breathable lining made from ocean-bound recycled plastic (Sea of Pearls Collection).
Sole: Natural leather outsole for traction and longevity.
Finish: U-cut with drawstring, pleated platform; ribbons & elastic sold separately so you can customize tension and placement.

Care information

Break-in, not break-down: Warm the shoe with gentle roll-throughs and demi-plies; avoid crushing the box or sharply bending the shank.
Dry time matters: After class, air-dry 24–48 hours outside your bag; rotate pairs to extend life.
Keep the shape: Use mesh/cedar shapers.
Satin TLC: Spot-clean with a barely damp cloth or makeup sponge and mild soap; don’t soak.
Extra support: If approved by your teacher, reinforce box/wings with thin layers of pointe shoe hardener and allow to fully cure.

Some of our dance shoes come in European or American sizes which we convert into English sizing. The size you ordered may not match the size on the box, but it is the correct converted size. Please try on both shoes to check the fit.

Please note that the size chart is intended as a guide only, sizes may vary from style to style. If you are unsure of the size please e-mail our Customer Care team.
