My foot is an Egyptian type with only a slight slope, my forefoot is narrow, my toes aren't super wide so I would give myself a tapered box. For accessories I would give myself ouch pouches junior, a spacer between my first and second toe, a gel cap on my big toe and pinky toe.

My feet were smallest in the morning then got slightly larger after I took my ballet class. To find my correct pointe shoe size I would look at both measurements to find a shoe that fits perfectly.

This foot is a Greek or African foot, with a longer second toe that is even or just slightly longer than the big toe. The toes taper down from the first toe, & the foot is slightly compressible, thin and narrow width throughout. (Though I do think the picture makes her foot look wider, & caveat is it’s a child’s foot, so she wouldn’t actually be fitted for pointe shoes until much later.) This foot has a natural tendency to pronate in and the toes tend to scrunch up when standing.

With all of that information, I would suggest she start with more supportive all satin ribbons and crossed thicker elastics when she begins pointe work, but she could adapt from there and go with her preferences after establishing some strength. I think the ouch pouch jr.’s would be a good place to start unless she wants some fabric underneath…

The Merlet Lena, it has a moderately tapered box, there are multiple options for Vamp size, these shoes are similar to the shoes that were now

I was surprised my measurements didn’t change throughout the day, as my feet are very compressible, but at least it should be easy to find the correct size. I would need to measure again just after workout/dancing/etc. to see if there is a change, rather than right before bed. *I had to post here because it wouldn’t let me on the assignment page & my other device I was working from broke this week.

I have a low arch, Egyptian foot type with toes that are on the long side. I would say my foot is pretty strong and doesn't need much support.

I would fit myself in the Bloch Eurostretch. The stretchy material will form to my foot and enhance my arch. This shoe will also allow me to articulate my foot very well since it is a split sole design. It also has a pretty high vamp which will cover my toes.

With my low arch, highly compressible feet, with longer second toe, tapered toes, longer toes compared with total length of foot, and significantly wider metatarsal than heel, there are a few matches that would be good possibilities for flexible flat feet with some strength.

La Carlotta

This shoe's recommended fit for most, and high customization is the best bet from this brand. The medium shank and medium box should offer the right strength, while the long vamp and wings should support the metatarsal and not break too low on me.

My Feet:

Toes long compared to short length of foot, which is African in shape, with first two toes of similar length, while other 3 taper down. I have very low, but flexible and stronger arches than when I first went on pointe, so I no longer need the softest shank, I believe a medium will work, and last longer. My metatarsals are probably on the medium size for most pointe shoes. I feel that taking my foot as a whole, my heel is much smaller than the metatarsal area, and I have quite compressible feet.

Shoe 1:

I thought the Bloch Whisper looked like a shoe worth trying. I need the pre-arch, and full sole, (curious about 3/4 shanks, but not sure how that would support me, so I think I'd have to try on a pair to know for sure, so I'll just stick with full sole for…

I always thought I had a flexible flat foot, this does look more like a normal/neutral medium arch. I have too be careful about pronating, or even overcompensating that and supinating, especially on my left foot. I noticed that my foot is especially flat when standing, yet an arch appears more when weight is not placed on the foot. But my arches are nearly on the floor when standing in flat. This makes it look like they may not be as flat as others' however.
