Merlet Cloé From Limoges, France comes the subtly sophisticated Cloé Pointe Shoe by Merlet. Featuring a shorter vamp & wings than the Diva, the Cloé has a square, pleatless box with a wide platform for balance & stability and a thin gel cushion in the tip for extra comfort. The innovative & extra durable STM Cryptonite shank allows for an easy roll-through of demi-pointe while still strongly supporting the foot en pointe. Cloé is a traditionally French made pointe shoe made by the stitch & turn technique which ensures all of the materials are tucked into the shoe for a seamless feel. It has a cotton drawstring, and the fabric through to the heel is hourglass-shaped, hugging the arch of the foot. The microfiber insole is moisture-wicking, and the cotton inner lining is dyed a beautiful blue. Shank: 3/4 Polycarbonate STM, M Full Shank Arch: Cryptonite hour-glass Platform: Wide square Vamp: Medium 6.5cm Sole: Durable polycarbonate Tip: Satin Box: Square silicone gel flex box (Merlet exclusive) Lining: Navy Cotton
