Pointe shoe quiz august 28, 2010


Who is the maker of this dancer’s pointes?

This one may be a bit tricky, but I have used this maker in several quizzes before so the sole is familiar to returning readers. By sharpening the image you shouldn’t have any trouble.

    Probably Gaynors.

    I'm sorry Eric, no, they aren't Gaynors. With stitching around the sole, logo under the heel and broad pleats under the platform, they are pretty distinctive. I hope you will try again.

    I agree with Paul Great picture . With that description It has to be a Grishko.
