Tamara Pointe Shoe

Brand Nikolay                  Style 546 - Tamara Thanks to its construction, this model offers a pliable yet consistent, supportive shank that forms perfectly to any dancer’s arch. The shank is 5 mm shorter in comparison to the Maya model which provides a perfect fit. The sides are all 5 mm lower when compared to the Maya style. This improved design offers: - a smooth appearance even en-pointe position, provided by the heel counter which securely hugs the heel, - a more streamlined fit. Our incredibly soft microfiber lining adds additional comfort and prevents the shoe from sliding off the foot. The use of our Miracle glue in the box and wings, offers extreme flexibility and allows these parts to be easily adapted by hand. This innovative paste works equally well in cold, warm and humid climates. Elasticated binding provides a snug, secure fit.

Binding Upgrade - Transitioned from elastic drawstring to Elasticated Binding for a clean, snug finish. Side Adjustments - Lowered by 5mm from Maya I specifications for a sleek appearance, accentuating the arch. Shank Makeover - 5mm shorter for a closer arch fit. Making the shanks true 2/3 length. - Enhanced flexibility with robust arch support. Shanks are made from leatherboard and other materials that will be longer lasting and the added arch support will prevent the shoe from breaking low. Insole Upgrades - Transitioned to a microfiber insole to help with foot sliding in the shoe. Box Innovations - Employed improved, thermoplastic Miracle paste. - Redesigned wings for superior fit and durability by adding an additional layer for the wings.
