European Balance

Bloch / European Balance Pointe Shoe / ES0160L

• Generous platform for balanced weight distribution and less pressure on individual metatarsals

• Streamlined exterior that keeps the full platform width

• Low profile, medium sides and open throat for a snug, streamlined fit

• Traditional paste box
