Ava

Capezio / Ava Pointe Shoe / 1142W

The Ava is made for dancers with a broad, Roman (square) foot and toes of fairly even length. Its wide, high platform gives steady balance, while the #2.5 combination shank stays flexible through the arch, making it a comfortable choice for medium to wide forefeet.

Features:

• Broad, feathered box with a moderate, hand-flattened crown and lowered profile

• Moderate vamp with a slightly U-shaped throat

• High, wide platform, slightly slanted to help the dancer get over the box

• Full #2.5 leather board and red board combination shank, flexible through the arch

• Traditional stitched pleating with quiet toe construction

• Satin upper with satin binding and elastic drawstring

• Plush, anti-slip microfiber lining reduces sweat and friction blisters

• Removable medical-grade gel cushion along the inside edge of the platform eases toe pressure

• Internal heel counter for added structure at the heel

• Bias side seam lengthens the line of the foot

• Shortened sole removes excess material at the heel

Sizes:

• Lengths: 5-13

• Widths: N, M, W, WW

Other:

• Need more support? Same great fit with a stronger shank is the Ava Strong

• Sewing tip: the Ava has a bonded lining, so a medium needle with a small eye works best when attaching ribbons and elastics.

*Ribbons and elastics sold separately
