Gaynor Minden

Comfort, Quiet and Durability. Gaynor Minden pointe shoes combine thoughtful design, expert American hand craftsmanship, and innovative modern materials

.
Buoyant Support. Consistent Support. Gaynor Minden uses high quality elastomerics for its unbreakable shanks and boxes, not the antiquated paste and cardboard construction that makes other pointe shoes quickly deteriorate while tormenting the feet. The flexibility and support that you feel in the new shoe will remain the same throughout its long life. Gaynor Mindens have tremendous durability without being hard or clunky. The shoes last 3 to 6 times as long as most other brands

.
The Look of Effortless Grace. Gaynor Minden knows that dancers are athletes as well as artists. Your talented feet deserve a little cushioning, especially if you dance on a hard floor. And it's not just for comfort - many dance injuries are caused by trauma, so Gaynor Minden is attempting to lessen the impact of landing from jumps. This is the first pointe shoe with shock absorption. Its resilient, patented construction helps you to jump, then provides a soft, silent, easy landing.

Ready To Go. Gaynor Minden shoes are ready to go. No tedious, painful breaking-in required. No more stomping or bashing your shoes. These are soft and flexible when new. You never cut or break Gaynor Minden shanks. They're arched, just like your feet. If needed, a simple adjustment with a blow drier will make them conform perfectly so you can count on great support and a beautiful line.
The wide selection of stiffnesses and styles accommodates both the professional and the beginner. Shanks and boxes range from feather-soft and pliable to firm and extra-supportive. Select the shoe that is right for you without having to wait months for special orders. If you still need a special order you'll get it fast; our factory is located right here in the United States. All can be heat-formed for optimum support, perfect placement and a truly flattering line. Your feet will look beautiful.

Bloch Rehearsal

The concept behind the Signature pointe shoe series was creating a set of two shoes that in the best way possible, combines the desire for a shoe that acts totally as a professional shoe should and the desire for a shoe that has a longer life span. Both shoes are constructed with a paste that is designed to shape itself to the dancers foot when moist. The composition of the paste is also responsible for a large reduction of noise on the floor. The box is shaped to give the perfect platform for aesthetics and balance. The platform is as high as it is wide, which provides for both forward and lateral balance. The difference between the Signature Performance and Signature Rehearsal is the shank. The Rehearsal has a red board body with a leatherboard centerpiece.
This is equivalent to a 2.5mm shank. The available width fittings for the signature are B, C, D
