CL Classic Symphony Collection Pointe Shoes

What Makes the CL Symphony Collection Unique?

1. Traditional Turned Construction

Unlike pleatless models, CL styles are constructed using classic turning methods:

Pleated sole • Nails and glue reinforcement • Higher crown profile • Fuller box shape • Increased pliability through the demi-pointe

This construction creates a shoe that feels more responsive and flexible, especially through the roll-through.

2. Higher Crown = More Volume

The CL Symphony Collection features a higher crown height, making it ideal for:

Dancers needing to go further over platform • Fuller metatarsals • Broader forefoot shapes • Dancers who feel “compressed” in lower profile shoes

The added vertical space allows the toes to sit more naturally without feeling flattened.

3. Softer, More Expressive Feel

Because of the pleated construction, CL models tend to:

Break in more organically • Feel softer and more pliable • Mold beautifully to the foot • Provide a fuller aesthetic on stage

Many dancers describe CL shoes as feeling more “traditional” underfoot compared to sleeker, modern pleatless constructions.

Dancers can find an authorized R-Class retailer, visit the R-Class Showroom, schedule a virtual fitting to be professionally fitted in RC Classic Symphony pointe shoes.
