So Danca - EKring

Elastic support ring that hugs the shank to the foot. Provides a better aesthetic to the foot. Can help dancers be properly placed on the platform. Can reduce twisting by securing the shank to the center of the foot.   Add further support to your pointe shoes by adding an elastic ring around the shank housing. This wide elastic helps prevent twisting, pushing too far over the box and brings the shank to the underside of the foot. Feel the difference! So Danca Elektra Tech Rings provide even more support to your pointe shoes and were created with aesthetics in mind. If a shank is hugged into a foot, it's going to look better! Extra support is created by the rings which encircle the foot. They are made of a denser material than the rest of the box, providing dancers with essential support. The U-shape created by the ring allows for the hold and look you want. Just as importantly, these rings can also reduce twisting! For dancers with high arches, rings can also eliminate the need for vamp elastic or sewing the throat closed. Two rings included per package. Available in 5 different sizes. Size is determined by the diameter of the highest part of the instep. Size 4 is by far the most common. Very large feet might consider size 5, and smaller feet might consider size 3. Tiny feet only should consider size 2 or 1.
