Guide to Bloch pointe shoes

Bloch dance pointe shoes: excellence and tradition since 1932

Since 1932, Bloch has been making handcrafted pointe shoes that support dancers from their debut to the professional stage. Every product, from essential leotards to fashion-forward lines, reflects outstanding technical quality.

The range is designed for every stage of progression:

  • Preparation: The Demi-pointes S0135 with a leather insole are ideal for strengthening feet and ankles in preparation for pointe work.
  • First Steps: For beginners, styles with a pre-curved insole and a wide platform ensure comfort, stability, and protection from injury.

From soft blocks to advanced models, Bloch delivers the perfect balance of technical support and high-level performance.

Bloch pointe shoes for beginners: innovative models

Choosing your first pair of pointe shoes is a pivotal moment. The Bloch range offers cutting-edge solutions to ensure comfort and safety from the very first exercises:

  • Whisper Mirella MS104: The most innovative model, featuring a soft upper and a padded toe box that cradles the foot with exceptional gentleness.
  • Hannah & Amelie: Designed specifically for beginners, Hannah provides the perfect balance of support and flexibility, while Amelie stands out for its elegant V-shaped vamp.
  • B-Morph (TMT Technology): Although designed for intermediate levels, the B-Morph makes an excellent first pointe shoe thanks to its pre-curved insole. The special TMT thermoplastic adhesive allows the shoe to mold perfectly to the foot once heated, while the broad platform ensures maximum stability, ideal for those with wide feet.

Bloch pointe shoes: fit and comfort

The features of the various pointe shoes cover every need in terms of fit, shank stiffness, work level.

Most Bloch pointe shoes feature a U-shaped vamp and a wide platform, giving them a more "American" style, and the shank stiffness is generally medium.

However, many models also suit more professional training levels, such as the well-known Serenade model (also available in the Strong version), the Alpha model with a ¾ shank, the Grace model, the Aspiration model.
