Gaynor Minden Hard (Green Bag)
The Hard Shank is one of Gaynor Minden’s firmest options, designed for dancers who need maximum support and stability on pointe. With its strong resistance, it helps prevent sinking and provides reliable lift, making it ideal for powerful feet, higher arches, or dancers who prefer extra security underfoot.
Classic Fit (CL) – Traditional, gently curved box that flatters medium or slightly tapered toes.
Sleek Fit (SK) – Narrow, streamlined profile for slender feet and a long, refined look.
Sculpted Fit (SC) – Contoured shape with more space in the forefoot and a snug heel, perfect for fuller metatarsals and narrower heels.
💚 Green Bag = Hard Shank – for dancers who want strength, support, and lasting durability without sacrificing Gaynor Minden’s hallmark comfort.
