I am happy to learn that the elasticated binding is available for custom. I've had Fouettés with no drawstring, regular drawstring, and now the new "elasticated" drawstring, which was stretchy at all, and I don't love any of them. My shoes fit pretty snug and I don't require much, so an elasticated binding seems like a good middle ground. I am going to a Nikolay fitting event and plan to get my custom measurements there. The event's gotten pushed back, so I won't them in time for my summer intensive, but I'm still excited. I love my Ulanova I and I look forward to making them perfect.

You look really pretty in this video! I got stream pointe here in Canada and it didn't have the soft cushiony inner sole! Also didn't look quite like your model with the soft V/U. I'm curious about this. Also it's been great watching your career evolve. Well done!

Thank you so much for this video! I’m trying the Streampointe and the smart pointe soon!

Can't wait to try Victory! Feel this might be a winner for me :)

Stream Pointe starts at 16:08

Both shoes look promising! Hope they will be available here in the USA soon.

Love this

This is so good…so interesting..thank-you.

Hi…look good.

We've got these available in our shops in Virginia USA!!

So Awesome, wow

16:08 where she starts talking about the streampointe

Great to see these, I think I would love to try when I can be fitted. I got on quite well with elite so am interested in victory.

Awesome vid!

I want to try virtual fitting…….

If I’m in a 3007, but my teacher thinks something slightly less tapered what would you suggest?

I just bought victory, but the inner lining at the box keeps riding up when I slide my foot in and keeps rubbing my bunion. It’s painful and it leaves a mark on my feet. Does anyone wearing victory have this problem? How do y’all manage it?

Question:when I go on pointe,bourree,single foot releves etc I never go straight onto the platform evenly. I always seem to hit the ground on one corner and when my full weight goes down then I am on the whole platform. Both feet this happens on. Theres a microsecond each time where I am sort of fishing around for the whole platform. I videoed myself and I seem to land on the inner big toe side of the platform first. Any exercise tips to correct this? I'm a hobbyist so dont have a teacher to ask. Tapered compressible feet,very narrow. Alternating between freed studio 2 and 2007.

I LOVE a short truly short, short vamp! I have very short nearly perfectly even toes- fitters always take verbal note about it. I’m happy with them- I’m talking Capezio “Donatella” typevshort = perfection for me. But like you said the vamp alone does not a perfect pointe shoe make. So: ever since Gaynors turned their production upside down- outsourced to Bosnia Herzegovina: unfortinstely the quality 🌀👎 (these new improved European produced they’re so different & horribly diminished in quality & fit.) - no hate: I’m heartbroken. They were my shoe. Needless to say I’m currently in the market for a new shoe. (Luckily I trained in Freed’s/as well as some other traditional “turn-shoe method” made pointe shoes, for majority of pointe-career. And I do love the versatility of Grishko: though admittedly I need to take advantage of it that service much much more! Thank you for your knowledge, videos, *and oh I adore your eyeshadow + your hair! ) You’re always so aesthetically pleasing, m’love! 💕☺️🙏🩰

Anybody else break their stream points after just one class? (Hard shank, flexible feet).
