Ava- Strong S55

Capezio / Ava Strong Shank Pointe Shoe in S55 Medium Brown / 1143W

The Ava Strong Shank in S55, a medium brown skin tone shade, gives dancers a continuous line from leg to toe with no pancaking needed. It’s a supportive first pointe shoe for students with a broad, Roman (square) foot, pairing a reinforced #3.5 shank with a high, wide platform for steady balance at the barre.

Features:

• S55 medium brown satin upper to match the dancer’s skin tone, no pancaking required

• Broad, feathered full-wing box for lateral support

• Moderate vamp with a slightly U-shaped throat that flatters the arch

• High, wide platform for easy balancing, shaped to encourage the dancer over the box

• Reinforced #3.5 shank, 3/4 length, skived to zero

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

• Removable gel cushion eases pressure on the toes

• Internal heel counter for added structure at the heel

• Bias side seam lengthens the line of the foot

• Scored sole detail under the ball of the foot adds traction on the floor

• Style number, size, width and shank heat-embossed on the outer sole for easy reordering

Sizes:

• Lengths: 5-13

• Widths: N, M, W, WW

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