The Capezio Donatella Pointe Shoe features a moderate, slightly tapered inner toe box with a low vamp and a subtle U-shaped throat for a refined, elegant look. Its elasticized binding with an elastic drawstring ensures a secure, custom fit, while the plush, anti-slip microfiber lining helps prevent excess sweating and blisters caused by friction. The enhanced heel design relieves pressure from the Achilles tendon—ideal for dancers prone to Achilles tendonitis—allowing greater mobility for deeper pliés and higher jumps. A bias side seam elongates the line of the foot, complemented by a lowered profile and feathered full wings for superior lateral support. The low, hand-flattened crown and wide platform provide excellent stability and balance en pointe. A thin leather sole provides better floor contact, featuring a reduced heel length for a sleek fit, while the skived ball of the foot promotes smooth roll-through and articulation. Featuring the half-skived shank, the Donatella blends strength and flexibility with traditional quiet toe construction and a pleat-free finish.
