Pointe shoe quiz 07-25-2010

Who is the maker of these shoes?

  1. I can't find anything that matches all the different elements to these shoes: the logo that looks like a script C, the crossbuck foresole AND the nails at the toe end of the sole. All the brands I know that start with C don't match this shoe, and ones with similar sole pattern or with nail holes don't match either.

  2. Hint: It is a C. It's an Italian company...

  3. I can't find it. I've looked all over the internet for an Italian pointe shoe maker that starts with a C or a model that starts with C.
