Dance & Ballet Forum > What are your favorite ballet-shoes and why?

I had hanged some years ago from Sansha to Bloch what is your opinion which brand of ballet-shoes is the best?

I used Sansha for many years but over time i felt the quality decreasing (only about 1 out of 5 pairs was good). Mostly too much folded material in the front of shoe and one pair caused me an inflammation on the heel.

Then about 3 years ago i tried Bloch well first experience was not very satisfactory (they did not last even one ballet-class). I thought how can i use them for an actual performance ?! Then i found out they were from soft canvas. More comfortable than Sansha clearly but....
Well i tried the hard canvas great build very very resistant up to few moths of use!!!!
Negative side they are a bit more slippery on the surface but a small price to pay i feel.

Since than i use only Bloch.What is your opinion honestly i wish there was a middle option in Bloch between soft and hard canvas but so far i did not try better ballet-shoes.
