The Bloch Balance European Strong Pointe Shoe offers all the wonderful benefits of the Balance European Pointe Shoe, but with a strong shank. Boasts a curved last that follows the natural contours of the foot, providing comfort and injury protection. Featuring a stronger shank, the Balance European allows the dancer to feel as though they can stand en pointe all day as the curved last and the shank remain in close contact with the instep, significantly improving injury protection.

The generous platform encourages balanced weight distribution and can reduce pressure on individual metatarsals
The European Balance has a diagonal side seam which reduces satin creasing 
The low profile of the shoe, medium sides, open throat line of the vamp shape and elastic drawstring create a streamlined, snug fit
Heel cushion
Noise reduction under the pleats
