I want to get Grishko pointes next week - thinking the 2007 or Nova's. I have egyptian feet, narrow, compressible, long toes and average arch. My street shoe size is an 8, so my feet measure 9 inches, 24cm or 240mm. Would a size 5 work for me? I cannot go in for a fitting so I'm working with the info I gather online. What do you think?

Gorgeous lines!! I wish my legs and arch will look that good one day.

All Grishko models seem to work only on narrow feet with tapered toes. Is there any for wide extra square, with long toes and full instep flat feet out there? I'm currently on Russian Pointe Muse v2 w4 and they are great, with a huge platform to balance on, everything cool except for the proflie. My feet kind bubble out of the shoes.

I love the elite pointe shoes by Grishko, it has a square box perfect for wide feet. They also make your arch better then any other grishko pointe shoe I have ever tried. They are also extremely comfortable. Sadly they don’t work on me since I have more tapered toes so I go for the 2007s

@@EliseCharlotte oh true I completely forgot that the vamp is so short😪 Have you ever tried Merlets or the la carlotta pointe shoe from repetto? They have one of the longest vamps on the market. I do know that the la carlotta is a square box but I don’t have personal experience from either of them. I hope someday u find “the shoe”😊

@@hiddengemsofoc4251 Thanks! I've never tried those, since the local store doesn't carry them, However, I think I've found my ideal pointe shoes: Russian Pointe Muse. For my next pair I'll probably have to go a width up (now I'm wearing a width 4), but they work just fine. I wish they had a higher profile though, my feet are flat and I have a full instep, but so far these are working for me.

@@EliseCharlotte I’m glad you have something you like! I’ve had a Russian pointe shoes before but I just wasn’t satisfied about how flat the shank was. I was getting over the box but I had practically no arch😞😞 maybe I’ll try it again because my 2007s are okay but I too hate the small platform. If only there was a super tapered pointe shoe with a wide platform😤
