Grishko Novice Size: 4 Width: X4 Grishko Novice is a popular pointe shoe, favored by everyone from beginner to professional ballerinas, featuring a soft box and a 3/4 shank that easily conforms to the foot. The box is designed to reduce the burden on the toes compared to previous models. The shank is SS (Super Soft), recommended for beginners and ballerinas who prefer a flexible sole. This model is based on the 2007, known for its beautiful toe shape and ease of balance. Although new, there is some soiling on the platform as I stood in them. Please check the photos. I would appreciate it if you could understand this. I originally wore 2007 Pro Flex, but I found these easier to wear. I am selling them because I am now wearing a different pair. Thank you for looking.
