The Balance European is suited for the serious student and professional. The shape closely mimics the natural contours of the foot significantly improving injury prevention for the dancer. The low profile feature of the shoe increases the amount of surface area that is in direct contact with the foot, improving weight distribution and reducing pressure on individual metatarsals. The insole shape conforms to the arch, providing a higher level of support for the ankle joint and surrounding tendons

The wide toe provides a larger balancing platform that also enhances support for the ankle transferring through to the knee and hip joints. The wide platform enhances stability and reduces lateral and medial movement when on pointe. The improved fit of the balance pointe allows the shoe to move inline with the dancer, increasing the dancers control of the shoe. The dancer can be sure the shoe will work with them, complementing their technique.

Please note this is the "strong shank" version of the Balance European. It is also available in a regular shank.
