Why is a fitting essential?
A bad toe is more than just discomfort
Choosing your pointe shoes on your own is risky.
An unsuitable toe piece damages the feet, hinders technical progress, and can cause lasting injuries.
During your appointment, Virginie analyzes the morphology of your foot, your technical level and the type of dance you practice, to guide you towards the brand and model that really suits you.
Unique morphology
Safety first
Field expertise
Every foot is different.
What works for a friend won't necessarily work for you.
A professional fitting prevents injuries related to poor posture,
to a sole that is too hard
or to an overly long upper.
Virginie herself danced professionally for years. She knows what your feet are going through.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: From what age can you have pointe shoe fittings?
A: Generally from 11-12 years old, depending on body type and skill level. We recommend that you get your teacher's approval before making an appointment.
Q: How long does an appointment last?
A: Allow 30 to 45 minutes for an initial fitting. This gives us time to do things properly.
Q: Do we need to prepare anything before coming?
A: Come dressed in comfortable clothes. The rest is our job.
Q: Can we come without an appointment?
A: We strongly advise you to book in advance. The fitting requires time and full attention. Walk-ins at the store mean we cannot guarantee Virginie's availability.
