R-Class, world-renowned makers of hand-crafted pointe shoes for more than thirty years, is now offering their shoes directly in the U.S. Crafted with precision and passion, these pointe shoes are designed to elevate your performance and provide dancers with unparalleled comfort and support.

The R-Class Crescenda Pointe Shoes are part of the R-Class Classic Symphony Collection. These are pleated shoes that have higher crowns due to the traditional turn-shoe method used to construct them. The shanks and soles are attached using nails and glue. Both of these processes make the pointe shoes more pliable and allow the dancer to go further over the platform.

Crescenda features a moderately tapered box, a medium crown, arch, and heel, and offers the most universal fit, particularly with dancers with moderately tapered toes and a fuller instep. It is designed with a U-Cut vamp and includes an elastic drawstring.

This model of Crescenda includes the Soft shank, which allows for greater articulation and flexibility. It is best suited for dancers that either have very strong feet that require little support from the shoe, or for dancers that have tighter ankles, often beginners, that need help getting over the platform.

Elevate your dance experience with the R-Class Crescenda Pointe Shoes – where every movement is a crescendo of beauty and strength, setting a new standard in the world of ballet footwear.
