K.H. Martin pointe shoes are made with ultra-smooth English satin. The distinguishing characteristics of the shoes structural features allow the dancer to balance effortlessly on the tips of her toes.
![]() |
The box is made of burlap stiffened with natural glue. It encases and supports the dancers toes and the metatarsus. The shank is made of many layers of glue-hardened cardboard running along the ballerinas sole. It provides support to the arch of the foot as the dancer stands en pointe. In-stock shoes are made in 3 versions: flexible, regular and strong shank. For special orders, K.H. Martin offers FIFTEEN variations of shank strengths. |
The pointe shoe Eva is K.H. Martins top model, a classic in the ballet scene. It features a slightly tapered box with a low profile.
The model Karla is made in the same way as Eva but with a wider platform and more room inside the box.
