Bloch S0135L Demi Pointe Shoes are designed to assist in the transition to full pointe work, offering necessary resistance to build foot strength. With a curved box shaped like a full ballet pointe shoe but slightly softer, these shoes are perfect preparation tools, although not intended to support the dancer en pointe. The generous internal space of the box area allows the foot to be inserted deeply, ensuring a snug yet comfortable fit. 
Please Note: I strongly recommend that you have your Demi Pointe shoes professionally fitted and only order on line once you know your size on completion of your fitting. I am a trained and approved fitter for Bloch
