BLOCH first developed the Demi-pointe shoe in the 1960s, as a transitional shoe to help train dancers for pointe work. The Tensus Demi is suited to dancers with narrow heels. The Demi Pointe is more structured than a ballet flat and the sole and box provide resistance, helping to build the necessary strength in the foot and leg muscles required for pointe work.

Features of the Tensus

• Tempered platform and U-shaped vamp
• Square shaped box, low cut sides and a narrow heel combine to accentuate the profile of the foot and suit the dancer with a narrow heel
• Full leather outsole supports the foot and creates a smooth surface and stability
• Cotton drawstring
• The Tensus Demi has a leather outsole and is made on the same last as the Aspiration pointe shoe
• The last shape supports the foot and creates a smooth surface and stability when running, walking or standing flat

Ribbons and Elastics

Fit notes: Pointe shoes should fit perfectly and never leave room for growth, so in order to ensure they support feet precisely and comfortably, we recommend getting fitted by our professional fitter before you buy a new pair of pointe shoes. 

Unfortunately we cannot provide refunds for pointe shoes that have broken as a result of not being fitted prior to purchasing. Pointe shoes sizes are not the same as street shoe sizes. They should only be worn after years of proper ballet training and instruction. They can cause injury if worn improperly.
