Hi Eric, that was a good guess. It is a European shoe, but Freed does not make a pointe shoe that has no draw-string, like this pair. I hope you will try again.
Readers participating in this quiz should look closely at the partial style name of the shoe to make sure they are interpreting the lettering correctly.
Who is the maker of these shoes?
I'll take a stab in the dark here... Freed (from the stamp on the inside), made in England, and Elite style.

jil is that normal to have amonia smell in brand new filter canister
ReplyDeleteHi Anon... Having the scent of ammonia in a new gas mask filter canister is not normal in my experience.
