Heritage StrongHeritage is a Russian inspired pointe shoe with low V shaped vamp design that lengthens the aesthetic line of the foot. This style is designed with a stronger shank than our regular Heritage pointe shoe. The shank is designed to be flexible, supportive en pointe and durable, which makes it an ideal shoe for both rehearsal and performance Flat pleating under the box creates a smooth surface and greater stability when running, walking or standing flat
