    Jill , The Maker is Prima Soft

    No draw string and a V vamp or closed vamp
    This shoe prevents the dancer with a high arch from popping out of the shoe

    Hi Jill,

    I'm going to go with Grishko for the maker.

    The two things that stand out for me is the vamp and sole pattern.

    Paul.

    Yes, the shoes are Prima Soft Silhouette style #703 (made in Russia) with no drawstring and a V throat vamp. That’s great everyone…

    Paul S, the sole pattern is somewhat similar to Grishko, but much larger. Good guess though as Silhouettes are Russian shoes.
