    Bloch Triomphe are great, I love them also Grishkos are great. i don't know which will suit your feet best but if you go to a proper store and get them to fit the shoes they will know what is best for you. Any should be good if you break them in and use them properly. good luck! :)

    Your foot sounds kind of like mine. I wear Grishko Ulanova I shoes. The shank is really strong though, so unless you have a strong arch, I would stay away from them. If your arch is weaker, Bloch Serenade's and Bloch Signature Rehearsal's are pretty good. For the best fit, I would get fitted. The pointe shoe fitter's know much more about the shoes than we do, and could find you a better fitting shoe that way.

    my pointe teacher recommends Russian Pointe, because the shoe is well made. I have high arches and narrow heels, with a wide ball of my foot, and my Russian Pointes fit very well. The shoe's last for a little bit longer too, because they are made well.

    Sounds just like my feet. I have Bloch Sonata's, and they're great! Make sure that, when you get your shoes (no matter what brand), they give you WIDE elastic (about an inch), not the little narrow stuff. With feet like yours and mine, the thick elastic is the ONLY option. Thin elastic does not support your arch if it's high like mine.

    Your foot sounds a lot like mine too :) I would suggest getting fitted, just to be certain before you spend quite a bit of money- but I wear Bloch Suprimas...and they're very very good, they bend and they're strong but they don't hurt too much at all...but theres so many to try, getting fitted it probably the best idea.

    Hope I helped :)

    I think that the Grishko Maya I pointe shoes would be good for you. Or the Ulanova II.

    Your foot is kinda like mine! but you shouldnt just ask random strangers what to get. Go to a dance store and get fitted for it! if you have any questions you should ask your teacher!
