We are delighted to be the UK distributor for this beautiful new brand, brought to you by a trio of incredible women who we have known for many years. They have countless years of experience in world class Pointe Shoe Design and marketing. We will be starting with just 2 of the most popular styles, the Enigma FX and the Violette. Watch this space as we increase our range.

Violette is made on a new original last and is engineered to be flexible but supportive. The last's anatomical form is designed to provide the dancer with greater comfort and excellent support in the metatarsal area. A ready to wear shoe with new inner construction which provides wonderful flexibility as well as a beautiful and seamless roll through. Violette is ideal for both beginners and advanced dancers.
