Alpha has a conventional 3/4 outsole and caters to most foot shapes. Highly specialized pointe shoe which should only be worn by dancers with strong leg and foot muscles, who have the strength to go onto pointe with minimal support. This shoe is best suited to advanced students and professionals with strong leg and foot muscular development.
A unique ¾ outsole provides minimal resistance under the instep past the break point and allows ultimate articulation
The last is a conventional shape and suits a majority of foot shapes
The shank has been pre-prepared for cutting to desired length — we recommend leaving the soft leather board for arch comfort
With less resistance from the shank past the break point, the dancer will feel well supported and uplifted when en pointe
The ⅔ cut down outsole emphasises the point of contact under the instep for optimal foot articulation
The long vamp supports the foot by preventing it from overarching
The platform is both wide and high to allow maximum balance and stability when en pointe
The sides of the upper are cut low and the heel contoured
B Paste is used to enable the shoe to mold quickly to the shape of the foot, as well as facilitating foot articulation
Deep U-shaped vamp supports the foot by preventing it from overarching

A great place for dance basics with great prices. They have a HUGE range of products in terms of actual product and in skin tones! Also, their prices are way better than Amazon. So grateful to have a one stop shop in NYC

I had a great experience finding a new pair of pointe shoes that I usually wear. The person that helped me named Airielle was super helpful trying to find the right fit for my feet.
