It is always our aim to offer our dancers a broad range of Pointe Shoes. We want to become their ‘one stop shop’ helping them find their perfect shoes
Where shoes and brands have become hard to source in recent times we felt it was important to add someone new and special to the Dancing Boutique fold.
Having had various delightful conversations with Mark & Keri Suffolk at Suffolk Pointes, we sampled their fabulous shoes and were delighted to become one of their UK suppliers.
From their Premiere Collection we now stock their Stellar Pink Standard Insole Pointe Shoe
The Premiere Collection is their hardest working collection of pointe shoes. With heavy paste and high wings, these pointe shoes are made to last. The hard paste and durable shanks allow this collection to be the longest lasting pointe shoes in the dance industry. Combining the high wings with our patented design, Suffolk® handmade pointe shoes guide the foot into proper placement en pointe.
The Suffolk® Stellar pointe shoe is the best pointe shoe for dancers that want an elegant line en pointe. The Stellar is one of the best-selling pointe shoes in the dance industry. The broad platform makes balancing en pointe easy. The toe box is roomy enough to articulate your feet when rolling through demi pointe. The high wings taper just enough for the dancer to feel secure and in proper placement without looking boxy or clunky. Once this handmade pointe shoe breaks in, the box will mold to your feet perfectly, the way no other type of pointe shoe can.
From their Corps de Ballet Collection we now stock their Spotlight Pink Standard Insole Pointe Shoe
The Corps de Ballet Collection is made up of traditional pointe shoes made inside out and turned to reveal the right side of the pointe shoe after the shoemaker has hand pasted the toe box into the shoe. These lightweight shoes are known and loved by dancers that want the shoe to mold quickly to their foot. From the stage, dancers appear to wear flat slippers when wearing shoes from this collection. Many artistic directors favor the aesthetic of Suffolk® pointe shoes made in this traditional British style of shoemaking. They only classic pointe shoes that feature Suffolk’s patented design which extends the life of the shoe.
The Suffolk® Spotlight was the first pointe shoe in our line to introduce our patented design. This comfortable pointe shoe for bunions or dancers with large toe joints cups the foot at the metatarsals for extra support. The Spotlight’s patented design is unique in its ability to help all dancers get over the platform in correct placement, while the insole allows them to fully articulate their foot. The lightweight shoe is made it hug the arch, while offering the dancer support and lift, and also deters sitting in the shoe.
Suffolk® Pointe Shoes are made from modern lasts designed and hand-carved by an engineer and master pointe shoemaker and then computer-graded for perfect sizing. So they fit the modern dancer’s foot.
We are thrilled to have their Suffolk® Pointe Shoes in our range and know that our dancers will love them.
