Russian Pointe Entrada Pro

Entrada Pro

Make a glowing impression in Entrada Pro, the exquisite marriage of the classical masterpiece Entrada with the glittering new features of the Spotlight Collection. Created on the original Entrada last, Entrada Pro features pre-arched construction, a medium-high crown and a medium platform, best suited to dancers with moderately tapered toes and some fullness in the instep or toes. The Spotlight Collection’s pliable shanks and range of six widths and two vamp shapes give Entrada Pro updated style and versatility.

Spotlight Collection

Exquisite in both form and function, the Spotlight Collection combines the most advanced performance features with the spotlight-worthy elegance of traditionally handcrafted pointe shoes made entirely of natural materials. Russian Pointe’s revolutionary pre-arched construction mimics the shape of the foot on pointe, to highlight the arch while facilitating pointework and minimizing break-in. Pliable, long-lasting shanks follow your every move with support and grace. The hand-sculpted classical box and smoothly fitting heel provide the perfect embrace for the foot. In six widths, six shank options, a choice of V-cut or U-cut and a versatile array of model shapes, the Spotlight Collection earns a standing ovation for every performance.

Russian Pointe’s pre-arched construction involves an innovative design process throughout the pointe shoe, including the shank, sole and fabric of the shoe. Pre-arching creates a fit more closely aligned with the shape of the foot on pointe, helping to minimize break-in time and reducing strain on the shank. Dancers with high arches experience less pressure on the front of the foot. Those with low arches find it easier to reach full pointe. For any foot shape, pre-arched construction highlights the beauty of the arch.
