Lora 01/16/2014 I have russian pointe shoes now, but they get to be expensive. Im looking for a cheaper alternative. I get a width 4 in my russian shoes. Im wondering if I should get a medium or wide width in these shoes.
If you are normally a width 4 in Russian Pointe, I would recommend getting this shoe is a W width.- DDS Customer Service (01/18/2014)

salemalexandra 12/19/2013 Do these pointe shoes come with ribbons. If nit whst would you reccomend?
This shoe does come with attached elastics, but the ribbons are not included. We do not sell a ribbon by Sansha, but I would recommend our Grishko ribbon which is style GRIEURW.- DDS Customer Service (12/20/2013)
No, they do not come with ribbons, but they do come with elastic. According to a lot of reviews the elastic falls of very quickly so I recommend sewing on a new elastic as well as ribbons. For ribbons I would recommend the Bloch elastic ones, they are very soft and comfortable because of the elastic at your achilles and for elastic I would recommend the gaynor minden invisible one. - Elyn (08/06/2014)

FlatFeet 10/26/2013 I have wide and flat feet. size 9 street size. I'm a beginner, and my ballet teacher wants me to buy a pair of pointe shoes. Will these work?
The Recital Pointe shoe by Sansha is a good beginner shoe, however we do recommend getting fitted in person for pointe shoes as the sizing information we have is only a suggestion. Please contact Customer Service for additional assistance.- DDS Customer Service (10/28/2013)
These pointe shoes have a quite hard shank, so I wouldn't recommend these ones for you. Maybe you could try Grishko 2007, a lot of people really like these pointes and they have a pretty universal fit. They also really work for not very arched feet. - Elyn (08/06/2014)

Missy27 08/02/2013 I have wide feet, with normal arches, not super high or low. Im an 8 street shoe. Ive got egyptian feet and my first two toes are close in size.
With the wide tapered box it does sound like it would be a possible fit. However, the recital has a low crown meant for a slightly flatter than average foot. This might be an option for you but without a proper pointe shoe fitting it's unfortunately impossible to tell. We recommend trying these on at a local dancewear store as any (even slight) incorrect fit can risk permanent foot and ankle damage.- DDS Customer Service (08/05/2013)

daniela 07/18/2013 I have Egyptian feet , the big toe visibly longer than the others. I also have normal arches not to high and not low ,so I wear a 7 in street shoes.
I have using bloch aspiration in size 5 and the B box, I have a narrow feet , which box do you recommend in these . And can you tell me if these are going to work for me , Im looking for something confortable and cheap.
Thank you so much and if you think these shoes are not for me ,please recommend other brands and models,and it doesn't matter that be expensive.
Unfortunately the way you described your foot seems to be in contradiction to what the Aspiration shoe you are currently wearing is made for. Since you do not know the exact box, vamp, heel or shank, it is extremely difficult to recommend a like shoe. We would love to assist you but our best recommendation is to be fit for new pointe shoes at your local dance store. That way you also won't waste any money trying shoes that are a potentially wrong fit (and that could risk foot and ankle damage).- DDS Customer Service (07/19/2013)
