What size would compare to Seranade 5c,Serene 5b please?
Thank you for your question. This shoe has a recommended sizing of 2-3 sizes smaller than street shoe while the Serenade has a sizing recommendation of 3 sizes smaller. We would recommend following the manufacturer recommended sizing based on your street shoe rather than comparing with another model of shoe. Please note that sizing cannot be guaranteed. - DDS Customer Service (03/04/2019)
Soloist 01/23/2016 Ohio Age: 17 or under Do they come in red or do you dye them?
Typically pointe shoes primarily come in the classic color, though some are becoming more varied. This specific shoe only comes in the classic pink color and you would need to dye the shoe yourself. - DDS Customer Service (01/28/2016)
In Bloch Sonatas I wear a 5.5B - Is that the equivalent of a 5.5X in Heritage?
That would be approximately the same size. We do not guarantee exact sizing, especially cross comparing other styles. However, based on the sizing they would be very close if not the same. - DDS Customer Service (12/15/2015)
Do you sell this product in Black? I need black pointe shoes for a performance.
Bloch, the manufacturer of the shoe, does not offer this pointe shoe in black. You may want to try to be fitted for a Grishko or a Gaynor Minden since they offer shoes in black. - DDS Customer Service (12/02/2013)
omg black would be so pretty!!!!!! Bloch doesn't generally sell black pointes, therefore dd doesn't either, but you could always dye them ;) - Littlemissballerina1501 (03/09/2014)
If you can't but them in black, it is really easy to color them. I used a large Sharpie marker to make a pair of mine red! - Misse (04/09/2014)
dancerfreak 03/28/2013 Denver, Co Age: 17 or under i have this pointe shoe, and i have to figure out if its dead or not, and if to get new ones
the fabric on the box is almost toatally gone, and i am having issues (even with rasin) not slipping and ive only had them for two months. then again i do three pointe classes a week so yeah. if you could pleease please help me figure it out it would be greatly appreciated.
Point shoe typically have a 6-8 hour point life. Depending on how much you wear, it may be time to purchase a new pair. - DDS Customer Service (03/28/2013)
I found that if I put rosin on the top of the pointe shoe and like on the bow it helped me not to slip. Also other people from what I've heard have cut off or rub off (with like sand paper or even on a rough surface) the satin part on the platform to make the shoes less slippery. Hope this helped. - Balletalltheway98 (10/05/2013)
Hi dancerfreak, I think I can help with your question.
I have been wearing these shoes for over 3 years, and when mine are dead, it's usually because the platform feels soft, and it also feels like I am "going over" too far.
Just because the fabric is worn off doesn't necessarily mean that your shoes are dead because that depends on the type of floor you dance on, and rosin also makes the fabric wear off quickly.
However, two months is a very long time to have a pair of pointe shoes if you do three pointe classes a week.
Based on that amount of time, I would probably say it's time for a new pair. - Missgrenko (01/13/2014)
This item has a medium shank. We do not offer this item in a hard shank. - DDS Customer Service (03/05/2013)
it comes with a medium shank, nothing bad, nice and plyable but not too its a really good pointe shoe - Dancerfreak (03/28/2013)
It does not. However, it probably could be debated among other dancers. I personally do not think it had a difficultly hard shank. These would be great for a beginning pointe dancer. If you're not, I would suggest something a little harder. They have so many different options to choose from. I hope my answer could have been some help to you. Good luck on finding the right pare! - Jaycee (05/01/2013)
Yes! It does! You can't buy it on DDS right now, but other websites do offer it. One important note - the hard shanks are referred to as "strong shanks" by Bloch, at least for Heritage, so if you're trying to google it, try using the word "strong" instead. Hope it works out! - Lvilledancer (10/27/2013)
