When it’s time for dancing, there are several types of women’s ballet shoes for ballerinas who want proper dancing footwear. Traditionally ballet shoes are made from satin, leather, or canvas with suede or leather soles. There are a few types of ballet shoes for all skill levels to consider, so fluff up your tutu and prepare to choose the best shoe for you:
- Split sole ballet shoes: A shoe divided in two—a split sole ballet shoe has a heel pad and a separate toe pad with no padding in between them. The foot's arch is hugged by a soft material offering great flexibility.
- Full sole ballet shoes: Full sole ballet shoes have full coverage padding from toe to heel. They’re ideal for beginners twirling their way up in the dance world because they enable proper technique in order to reach an advanced level.
- Pointe ballet shoes: These dancing slippers are for the pros whose plié and pirouette skills are more advanced. Women’s ballet pointe shoes have maximum support and are fitted perfectly to the feet. They may appear dainty and weightless on a dancer’s tootsies, but they are sturdy with densely packed materials at the toes.
Leap into a vast selection of shoe colors including (but not limited to) classic pink, white, and black shades. For an antique flair, tip-toe into the past with gorgeous vintage ballet shoes any ballerina will love to put on display.
