The Sonata Strong pointe shoe is an option for the dancer with very flexible arches requiring further support under the metatarsals than is offered in the Sonata. The combination shank/insole of this shoe offers added support underneath the metatarsals whilst the unsecured heel, the shape of the platform and the design of the shank/insole work together to stabilise, support and align the foot 'en pointe'.

Ribbons sold separately

Narrow heel shape - Hugs the heel and reduces creasing
Wide platform - Gives lateral support and balanced distribution of weight
Inner rubber toe cushion - Comfort when standing 'en pointe'
Unsecured insole at heel - Allows heel to arch away from instep
Reinforced shank - Offers maximum support and strength
Standard 'A' paste - Has resilience and is less affected by climatic conditions such as heat and humidity
