Diva Pointe Shoe (3/4 Medium STM)
Be a dancing queen with the Diva Pointe Shoe by Merlet. Handmade in Limoges, France, the Diva features a Merlet-exclusive polycarbonate shank for extended durability. This innovative shank has a three-quartered effect designed to support & flatter the arch of the foot while allowing for an easy demi-pointe roll-through. The Diva has a moderately tapered box with a high crown, vamp, and wings, and the platform is pleatless with a microfiber tip for extra grip. The Diva has a cotton drawstring, and as an added bonus, the cotton inner lining is purple, so you'll no longer have to worry about someone else in your class accidentally taking your shoes home!
