KUKOMEBallet Dance Shoes Pink Satin Pointe Shoes with Ribbon and Toe Pads for Ladies

That should be obvious, but I want to state that for those thinking that they can get a true pointe shoe for under $30. No. You can't.*fair disclaimer, I am not a ballerina.You can get a shoe that you can adequately get en pointe with, and is otherwise cosplay quality. Like, better than box store Halloween costume quality, definitely. I wouldn't necessarily say the quality is poor by any means. It simply can not measure up to a true pointe shoe.Now that that is out of the way, fit was OK. A tad longer in the heel than I thought it would be. And maybe it's just because I've never owned pointe shoes other than these, but the box is a tad strange. Like, too big all around my foot. Length of the box is OK, but the rest seems large.They break in decently, and the pads/cushions are quite nice. It came with one cut of ribbon that you have to cut and there was no loops or such to attach them to the shoe. I ended up buying a roll of ribbon from the store because I did not like how short the ribbon was it came with. I then sewed the new ribbon to the shoe so that I can tie them on. There is no other strap or anything like some true ballet shoes often have to hold it in place.Overall, if you just want some pointe shoes to kick it in and bust out some semi believable ballet moves in, and overall look the part, these are it.But please if you're a ballet student or parent with a child who is a ballet student, go ahead and get these for bonking about on the garage floor maybe so you don't mess up your real shoes, but get REAL pointe shoes for practice and performances.So, the photo is with the one ribbon tied horribly on just one shoe. That's why it looks dumb.I don't have any others I can post right now. I twisted my ankle shortly after receiving these and have been cautious not to reinjure it by jumping back into my nonsense with these shoes too quickly. *injury was sidewalk and clumsy related, not at all related to the shoes.

You get everything but the lace is separate so you have to attach it yourself, it’s not the comfiest so you may have to adjust or order a size down

Okay, so as an actual pointe dancer I bought these for fun to see the quality, even if you guys don’t dance or do pointe or whatever, don’t buy these maybe for like cosplay or something but these can be dangerous if you don’t have experience, and getting en pointe takes time. There’s no arch, the shank is weird, and overall there’s better things you can buy rather than these fake pointes.

There good pointe shoes makes sure you are really supposed to have them or your feet would mess up but other than that there good would buy really good ones but worth the price 👍🏽

Works so good for what I want and even though I don’t do ballet they worked perfectly

I ordered these for a cosplay. I didn't want to shell out the big bucks for expensive pointe shoes what will probably just get dirty from walking outside/at a convention. I have ballet experience and these are pretty nice for how cheap they are. I like a harder shoe and these definitely feel supportive enough for real pointe dancing, but I wouldn't wear these to dance in since they do not give my feet/legs a nice profile and line. Good enough for cosplay though! However, even though I ordered my size according to the measurements, they are still too big. Since they don't fit properly I won't be going en pointe in them. I might order a smaller size, I haven't decided yet.The package shipped quickly and included two types of toe padding and the ribbons (one long ribbon that you are meant to cut into 4) but didn't come with elastics or thread. Not a huge deal as those are easy to find at dance stores or online, but I'd gladly pay a few extra bucks to buy everything together in one package.All in all, these are good shoes for cosplay, practice, and maybe some people are lucky enough that they could use them for performance. I'd recommend these if you don't need them RIGHT away, since you might have to return them and get a different size.

After 17 years, 5 knee surgeries, 2 hip surgeries, 1 ankle surgery, and many years of physical therapy I was told I would never dance again much less on pointe. So, when I decided to give it a try again, I wasn’t about to shell out a ton of money for something I might not be able to do.For the price, these are great. The brand I received was Bezioner and they don’t look like the ones pictured. They run way too large. I currently wear 8.5W-9W in women’s shoes and I had to order a US6 9.25”. The shape of my feet have drastically changed over the years; my heels are very narrow, the ball of my feet are extremely wide, and I have ridiculously high arches. The box is broad enough for me, and these fit fairly well. The hard shank is great at supporting my feet while I work on getting my balance back. My progress is slow, but who knows maybe one day I’ll perform again.

My daughter likes to pretend that she's a ballerina. Purchased these for her for Christmas. Good enough for play.
