Capezio Ava Pointe Shoe

The Capezio Ava Pointe Shoe is expertly crafted for dancers with a broader (Roman) foot shape, offering a secure, balanced fit with exceptional comfort and control. Featuring a broad, feathered toe box and a high, wide platform, this shoe provides the stability dancers need to feel confident and centered en pointe.

Built with a #2.5 combination leather board and red board shank, the Ava offers the perfect balance of flexibility and support—allowing the foot to articulate beautifully while maintaining structure through the arch. The slightly slanted platform encourages proper alignment over the box, helping dancers achieve a clean, lifted position with ease.

Comfort is built into every detail, from the plush anti-slip microfiber lining that helps reduce friction and moisture, to the removable medical-grade gel cushion placed along the internal platform edge for targeted toe relief. The lowered profile, moderate vamp, and elegant lines enhance the overall aesthetic, making this shoe as flattering as it is functional.

Ideal for dancers seeking a wider fit, improved balance, and a smooth transition en pointe, the Ava is a strong choice for both training and performance.
