Gaynor Minden

Pointe shoes perform a remarkable job — enduring tremendous forces and repeated strains, all the while appearing as dainty and delicate as the ballerina herself. Gaynor Minden retains the classic beauty of lustrous pink satin and elegant tapered lines, but with a completely modernized interior to meet the needs of today’s athletic dancers. They are made with expert American hand-craftsmanship, the most up-to-date athletic materials, and first-hand knowledge of ballet. The designer and almost the entire team are former dancers.

*American and European made Gaynors

Gaynor Mindens usually fit one to one and a half sizes longer than your U.S. street shoe size. Please note not every length is available in every model. If you require a length that is not available, use the up arrow to change your previous selection.

Gaynor Minden shanks do not break in or soften, and all are equally durable and long-lasting. Make sure your new shoe is pliable enough to allow you to achieve a high demi-pointe easily. Each shank name ranks the ease of roll-through — or demi-pointe — with 1 being the easiest, and 5 being the most difficult.
