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.
