Suffolk "Solo" Pointe Shoe: The Solo is the original offering from the Suffolk Pointe Company and is still considered to be one of the best pointe shoes on the market. The shoe has a medium profile and aligns the foot and assists the dancer to go en pointe in the proper placement. The wing is comfortable yet supportive, and the strong, stable box has a lower vamp in the perfect U shape. The elegant line of the shoe and slight taper of the box allows the shoe to mold perfectly to the dancer’s foot. The Solo is available in light, standard, or hard. The light shank is more flexible and has lighter paste on the bottom of the foot. The standard shank is a 2 mm board and the hard is a 2.5mm board. Ribbons not included
