Pointe Perfection

02/10/2026

As with most Septembers it was time to say goodbye to another member of the team.

Maisie left in the exact same way she arrived. A bundle of joy, excitement and just a tiny hint of crazy.

Never one to be short of something to say, Maisie could regularly be found chatting away to customers, keeping us entertained and generally bringing her own special brand of chaos to the shop.

After completing 6th Form at Commonweal and a successful audition season, Maisie accepted a place at Dance Box Studios and has now made the move to Milton Keynes to begin three years of training.

We are incredibly proud of everything she has achieved and so excited to see where this next chapter takes her. Although we’re going to miss her terribly, we know she is exactly where she is meant to be and we can’t wait to watch her continue to grow and chase her dreams.

Lottie came to us for her second pointe shoe fitting. Her first fitting (fitted elsewhere) hadn’t been terrible at all, but looking closely at how she was working in the shoes, there were a few things we felt could be improved.

Her previous shoes were quite tapered through the box, despite her having a much broader forefoot. The vamp was also very low for her toe configuration and foot mobility, and you can see that she was beginning to fall forwards out of the front of the shoe as the shank became softer. Putting extra pressure across the front of her metatarsals.

For her new fitting, we went with a wider, squarer box and a much higher vamp to give her more support. Despite the new shoes being considerably wider and less tapered, she actually looks more lifted.

Her weight is better centred over the platform, she can get safely over her box without the risk of falling forward when the shank starts to soften, and the line from her ankle through to her toes looks much cleaner. Her legs also appear longer and more lifted because she isn’t fighting to stay on her platform.
