Bloch Etu "Expect the Unexpected" S1160LTHM Pointe Shoe

Introducing Bloch's latest innovation in pointe shoe technology. The Etu Pointe Shoes fuse cutting-edge technology with the best of traditional craftsmanship.

Delivering all the advantages of modern technology in the toe box, Etu retains the benefits of a traditional pointe shoe thanks to the design of its arch. Ultra-comfortable, long lasting and quiet, the Etu is unlike anything anyone has ever made before.

Designed for advanced to professional dancers, Etu is well suited for a square shaped foot where the first three toes are very similar in length and the metatarsals are square – in what appears to be a straight line.

Product Highlights:

Extreme Comfort - A padded insole, toe protection and additional layers around the toe box make this our most comfortable pointe shoe yet.
Long Lasting - The unique, non-traditional toe box provides long lasting support while still allowing for full articulation.
PORON® Cushioning - The high quality PORON® in this shoe makes it quiet and shock absorbent both in the block and in the arch.
Hybrid Design - The modern box is paired with traditional materials in the shank, allowing you to manipulate the shoe to perfectly match your instep.
Spring-Loaded Sensation - The unique box offers a responsive and spring-loaded sensation onto pointe.
Unmatched Stability - The ultra-flat design offers incredible stability on the supporting foot.
