Adult "Advanced" Pointe Shoes

I just received these in the mail today. When I took them out of the box the heels were unglued from the sole of the shoe.(It was like that on both shoes.) I had these once before and they weren't like that when they were brand new. Eventually they both came unglued. Are they supposed to be unglued at the heels like that like the Mirella Professionals or is this a defect?

The shoes should not be coming unglued. Please contact customer service to speak with a representative so we may resolve the issue. You can reach us at: 800-328-7107.

I have had 3 or 4 pairs of these shoes, each one the heel was unglued. It did not affect how I danced at all, though. I would assume this is not a defect, seeing as I have had multiple pairs all like this. Hope this helped :) - Dancelife001 (04/27/2014)

I wear a 4 1/2 2x in Bloch Axis i would like to try these but none of the local dance stores carry Mirella i've heard that this is a great shoe to build up strength in your foot i have a low instep with a low arch i use a theraband to strengthen my feet and it helps a little bit but i would like to just try something new.

These shoes are sized relatively the same. Where the Axis recommends ordering 2 1/2 sizes smaller than street shoe size, the Advanced recommends ordering 2-2 1/2 sizes smaller than street shoe size. They are also both unique in that they both have "U" shaped vamps and low side profiles. For any new pointe shoe we strongly recommend being professionally fitted for them prior to purchasing as even ordering a size that is slightly off would risk foot and ankle damage.

A lot of dancers at my school wear Mirella and like it and most of them have lower insteps/arches. I have a high arch and these did not work for me :( I suggest buying a few varying pairs in either size or width and then return the ones that don't work! - Petiteballerine (07/29/2013)

If you have a weaker arch, I would recommend this shoe. I have stronger, more flexible arches and I killed the shank within a couple classes, however I think that this would be a great shoe for lower arches to build up strength. The shank is very thin. - Dancelife001 (04/27/2014)

Also, what color would these be considered? Professional pink or light proffessional pink?

Bloch ribbon would match the best, however you can also order European pink ribbon.
