With even more advancements, Bloch introduces the "Dramatica II" pointe shoe, to provide you with the most innovative, and long-lasting support. Designed using Bloch's A paste, the longevity of the shoe is increased and correct placement is reinforced. Pointe shoes also feature a slightly flatter crown for more contact, a reinforced box, a U-shaped vamp, and a low cut side that creates an enhanced profile. To avoid any slipping, the shoe is also designed with a leather grip at the heel and an elastic drawstring.
