Rubin (“ruby”) glows and captivates with elegance. The versatility of these u-cut pointe shoes has given Rubin unsurpassed popularity among discerning ballerinas. The low crown, wide platform size and slightly tapered box combine to suit a variety of foot shapes, while the pleatless platform gives a polished finish. Pliable, long-lasting shanks support with grace, and Russian Pointe’s revolutionary pre-arched construction mimics the shape of the foot on pointe, to highlight the arch while facilitating pointework and minimizing break-in.
