Amelie is an introductory pointe shoe featuring a medium shank. Designed for dancers with less developed muscles in the feet and legs who may be new to pointe work.

• The graded medium strength shank allows the foot to roll up onto pointe with ease
• Angled platform stabilises the foot
• Makes moving from flat to pointe easier and emphasises the line of the instep
• Medium sides
• Slight V shaped vamp and shallow box (which gently curves at the sides) support the toes laterally and keep the foot in correct alignment en pointe
• The gently curved sides of the box encourage the foot into correct alignment when en pointe, while the shallow box encases and supports the toes laterally 
• B paste
• Elastic drawstring draws the shoe in around foot
• Noise reduction under the pleats
• The combination of these features makes the Amelie styles suitable for a variety of foot shapes, especially for the beginner or elementary level dancer who requires a flexible shoe
