Pointe shoe quiz 04-27-2010


Who is the maker of these shoes?

  1. After sifting through a few pictures on Discount Dance Supply's website, the closest I saw was the Capezio Glisse Pro ES. The reason I came to this conclusion is the shape of the vamp, the look of the material, the way the elastic goes around the opening of the shoe, adn the seams along the side and back of the shoes closely resembles that of the 360 views of the Capezio Glisse Pro ES. Also, the insole of the forefoot is plain, and I believe the hindfoot satin is covering the Capezio logo, where the heels would be when you put it on.

  2. Sorry no Eric... You need to pay close attention to the drawstring casing around the throat of the vamp. The maker is illustrated on the DDS website.

  3. Eric ,
    We have covered this shoe many times . The clue was :You need to pay close attention to the drawstring casing around the throat of the vamp. The answer is It has none. While a Ganyor Mindon and some Grishko's have this feature. This shoe is a Gaynor because it has no nail in the (center point)insole . So ,the aswer is the shoe is a Gaynor Mindon. I know you do better next time !

  4. Good for you Paul, you're exactly right, Gaynors have no drawstring at the vamp throat!

  5. Hmm. I thought I saw drawstring openings on the Gaynors on the DDS site. I guess I must be seeing things.
