Erin is a highly accomplished dancer en pointe and has a very clear understanding of what she looks for in a shoe. She tends to favour a squarer box shape with generous width across the metatarsals, alongside a softer shank that allows her to feel and articulate through her feet.
While we’ve gently guided her towards slightly stronger shanks over the years thanks to years of excellent training and strong technical foundations, Erin is able to lift herself out of her shoes rather than relying on the shank for support, using her own strength and placement to do the work.
