The Mirella Academie has a firm shank to provide support and resistance to a developing foot to help build foot and ankle strength.

Bloch's Amelie Soft (formerly Protégée Soft) is an introductory pointe shoe, designed with a graded shank and wide platform that helps support the foot and ankle of a student new to pointe work.

The Axis is a tapered shoe that looks delicate, light and beautiful en pointe. It is a quieter shoe with cushioned pleats to reduce noise. It is built on a curved last.

The ‘Balance European’ has all the advantages of the Balance shoe, with a more tapered, streamlined look at the toe. Whilst maintaining a large balance platform, the inside of the toe box is narrower, for a snug fit around the toes. This shoe is suited for the serious student through to the professional.

Gaynor Minden uses high quality elastomerics for its unbreakable shanks and boxes. The flexibility and support that you feel in the new shoe will remain the same throughout its long life. Gaynor Mindens have tremendous durability without being hard or clunky.

The Serenade has a wide platform for balancing en pointe, and a longer vamp and firm shank to encourage flexible feet from bending too far over pointe.

The Signature pointe shoe series was designed for professionals who wanted a shoe with a longer life span. The platform is high and wide for greater control en pointe. The rehearsal shoe has a stronger shank for longevity and the performance shoe has a shank that needs less breaking in.

The ‘Suprima’ pointe shoe has a streamline tapered shape which is suited to a dancer with a narrow foot. This shoe has the smallest platform and the most tapered box of all the Bloch pointe shoes, which give an aesthetically pleasing finish to the leg line.
