The Classic Satin Block Toe (SBTD) from Freed is simply the most popular pointe shoe in the world.  More professional dancers use the satin Block Toe on stage than any other Pointe Shoe.  It is favoured because it finds a balance between strength and lightness whilst retaining its quietness.  It has the ability to mould to the shape of the individual dancer's foot, so providing comfort and support, yet retaining the flexibility required to allow the dancer to 'work through the foot'.
Please Note: I strongly recommend that you have your pointe shoes professionally fitted and only order on line once you know your size on completion of your fitting.
