Every dancer benefits from a precise, professional pointe shoe fitting.

What makes the R-Class showroom different from a dance store?

Unlike traditional dance retailers, the R-Class showroom provides access to nearly every R-Class pointe shoe model and customization option available. This includes variations in width, vamp height, shank strength, platform shape, and crown height, allowing our expert fitters to identify the best possible match for your unique foot structure.

Most pointe shoe fittings take approximately 30 to 60 minutes. This allows time to evaluate your foot shape, strength, alignment, and technical needs, and to try multiple models and configurations.

Yes. We frequently fit dancers for their first pair of pointe shoes. Our expert fitters work carefully with beginner dancers to ensure proper fit, comfort, and support during this important transition in their training.

What should I bring to my pointe shoe fitting?

Please bring:

• Convertible or footed ballet tights

• Any current pointe shoes (if applicable)

• Toe pads or accessories you normally use

This helps ensure the most accurate fitting possible.
