*Shank – Pointe Shoes
The dancer chooses the needed shank for comfort while dancing, so that the insole will support securely the foot arch. The shank upholds the “working heel” of the insole
when the dancer is standing on pointe, gives more flexibility, assures easy transition
from pointe to demi pointe and vice versa, etc. The hardness of the shank has no
influence on the longevity of the pointe shoe.
