DANCE - SHOES

Bloch’s Balance European mimics the natural contours of the foot by having a curved last and significantly improves injury prevention because the shank remains in close contact with the instep. The low profile improves weight distribution and reduces pressure on the metatarsals. The heel seam cushion reduces material creasing and maintains the perfect line of the foot when on pointe, and the insole shape conforms to the arch. Dancers who choose this shoe often have even-length or square toes.
