  2. Uh-ohhh! I have three comments already and no one is close. I thought this one was going to be easy. Hint... This shoe is featured in dance supply house on-line catalogs where the 360 view feature should help.

    Welcome back Leigha! Computer crashes are so frustrating, not to mention expensive!

    Mmmmm a ballerina in a triangle logo (Freed).
    The extra stiching around the vamp is the Classic series . There is five styles they all have the extra stiching at the vamp.So I can't tell the extact style(model)

  5. Looking at Discount Dance again, one brand I ruled out yesterday I looked at again. They're Freed Classics.

  8. And the answer is... Freed Classic! Freed is still the most popular pointe shoe for professional dancers in the U.S.

    Paul_D and Eric both have the correct answer.

    Capezio Aerial would have been a good guess if the fore-sole design hadn't been plainly visible.

    Thanks for participating everyone. For those who didn’t get the right answer this time, wishing you better luck next time!
