The Axis is a tapered shoe that looks delicate, light, and beautiful 'en pointe'. Features The Axis is Bloch's latest advance in cutting edge technology using unique TMT™ paste, which is heat responsive so it can be customized to individual needs providing control 'en pointe'. This enables the dancer to significantly accelerate the breaking in process by molding the box to the contours of the feet from the very first wear. The revolutionary heat activated box enables the dancer to mold the shoes to the individual contours of the feet providing superior comfort and durability. The curved last closely mimics the natural contours of the foot so the shank stays in close contact with the instep. The heat responsive TMT™ shank can be modified so the breakpoint can be tailored to the individual needs of the dancer. All pairs of shoes come with a detailed pamphlet on how to modify the Axis TMT™ with direct heat from a hairdryer. However the Axis will perform equally well without heating the paste. The unique features of the Axis TMT™ offer sensitive and responsive foot articulation. Sizing suggestion is 2 sizes down from US ladies street shoe size FINAL SALE ITEM
