Standard Paste Pointe Shoe Collection
Sonnet | Somerset
Suffolk Standard Paste Pointe Shoes offer a balanced combination of support, flexibility, stability, and articulation. Engineered by Suffolk and handcrafted in England, this collection brings together many of the elements dancers look for in a versatile pointe shoe.
Made using traditional turn shoe materials, the toe box is stitched to the back of the sole to allow flexibility through the back of the foot. Suffolk Standard Paste in the toe box and wings provides structure and support to help the dancer find proper placement and maintain alignment en pointe.
The Standard Paste Collection also features Suffolk’s distinctive heel curve, designed to create a tailored silhouette that hugs the foot.
The combination of strength and flexibility allows dancers to roll through demi-pointe with ease, maintain contact with the floor, and articulate naturally through the foot. The construction also helps support proper placement and can help prevent unwanted twisting of the shank. The insole is not glued or tacked beyond the point where the arch breaks, creating the flexibility and feel often associated with a 3/4 shoe, while maintaining the strength of a full insole.
Standard Paste Pointe Shoes are an excellent choice for beginning and intermediate dancers who need support with placement or finding center, as well as advanced and pre-professional dancers looking for a flexible, responsive shoe that allows them to show their feet.
