Did you know that most of the Kirov and
Bolshoi Company members dance in Grishko®
ballet shoes?
Diana Vishneva, who visited Australia with the
Kirov and is the ballerina from the Marinsky Theatre in St
Petersburgh, wears Grishko Vaganova pointes.
Grishko pointe shoes are designed and made by
hand to give the dancer ultimate support and placement, which is
why several styles are offered for fit perfection
The style you require is determined by the
shape of the your foot, particularly the length of your toes,
the strength of the foot and most importantly the manner in
which the teacher instructs you to go en pointe.
Grishko®
pointes combine all the features every
dancer looks for in a ballet shoe:
Superb balance;
Precise placement;
Easy transition from demi-pointe to pointe & back
Refined line of foot and arch;
Unique durability;
Lack of noise and
With proper fitting protection from dancer's occupational
diseases and damage.
