Perfect your pointework and shine on stage in this lightweight and quiet pointe shoe with a sleek, pleatless toe platform and non-slip leather sole. The hand-crafted R-Class Rubin (Russian for ruby) features a wide toe platform, low crown, and pre-arched construction designed to mimic the shape of the foot on pointe, enhance longevity, decrease pressure on the front of the foot for high arches, and minimize break-in. Best suited to the less-full foot with square to slightly tapered toes.
