Pleated shoes have higher crowns due to the traditional turn-shoe method of construction. The shanks and soles are attached using nails and glue. Both of these make shoes more pliable and allow the dancer to go further over the platform. R-Class has been manufacturing pointe shoes since 1991, both under the R-Class name as well as other well-known brands throughout the world.
AD19 has a broad box with a shallow crown.
Innovative plastic platform that not only improves the longevity of the shoe but maintains the shape of the platform and allows the dancer to be placed firmly in the center of the platform.
Traditional R-Class shanks are adhered to the plastic piece - allowing for effective and proper roll through and engagement of the intrinsic muscles.
New Adaptiv glue that molds and forms to the foot.
Stretch satin heel for a streamlined and elegant fit.
Made on the RC20 last - suggested fitting start is 1 width wider than RC20
