BRAND NEW SHOE DESIGN FROM BODY WRAPPERS!! Please check sizing recommendations below.   “Other ballet flats make my feet look like I’ve never heard of ballet” “These are bendy like my foot, they are comfy and fit perfectly” “I feel completely wrapped and I don’t have to worry about those annoying added elastics” The shape of the foot is a testament to the intricate interplay of form and function, a masterpiece of nature's design. Yet so many ballet shoes are designed and manufactured in a way where, when wearing them, the complexity and beauty of the foot is diluted into a square ish shape.  Not these.  Body Wrappers® has been wrapping the dancer’s figure for over 40 years and now they are wrapping the foot in a way that shows and accentuates every articulation of the foot.  Functionally, these shoes lead the pack with intelligent padding size and mindful placement of them, providing a soft yet resilient surface for propulsion and balance. The vamp lies in a sweet spot south of the midline of the metatarsals, exposing the summit or “peak of the arch” in the foot. It’s not too low or too high.  The fabric wraps so effectively around the foot that EVERY curve is shown. There are no bunches, no gaps, and not even a need for elastic straps that end up creating more bunching and an uncomfortable, or sometimes painful, sensation when tucked in.  The breathable stretchable and bouncy fabric allows for both sliding AND stopping on dance floors.  Impeccable flats for contemporary and ballet.  Ladies: Go up at least 2 sizes from street shoe size.  Gents: Go up at least 2 to 3 from street shoe size. 250 A/C LIGHTWEIGHT, DURABLE, BREATHABLE, STRETCH CANVAS (COTTON/SPANDEX) HANDMADE PLEATS NO DRAWSTRING ATTACHED ELASTIC STRAPS OVER THE ARCH & SIDE OF HEEL HOLD SHOE IN PLACE
