Review from Sandy W.

Wow, what a difference. Got fitted for Gaynor Mindens after years on Grishkos and while I will continue to dance on traditional pointe shoes, I feel like Gaynor Mindens will bring a whole nother dimension to my dancing. Highly recommend anyone interested to stop by for a proper fitting as they really are very different from the traditional pointe shoe! I usually wear Ouch Pouches just for my bunion, but in the Gaynor Mindens all I need is a little cushion for the big toe. Super lightweight (even the hard shank) and very quiet, so they're great for jumps. I am loving the "Supple" shank with #3 Box and want to try the Hard shank next.

Because they're worn by the world's most extraordinary dancers at 200+ professional companies. Because they're recommended for students by great teachers. Because they were invented by a dancer.

Dancers deserve the very best that human intelligence and imagination can deliver. To truly serve them, it is essential to recognize that they are both athletes and artists and that the dancer's body is her instrument. Gaynor Minden is dedicated to creating products which respect the instrument, benefit the artist, and enhance the art.
