A great choice for dancers with Roman (square) feet with flat to medium arches. A U-shaped throat, medium-high vamp with lowered sides help to raise on demi-pointe and full platform. There are three shank choices: Flexifirm or #5.5 with 1/2 tongue length (soft), firm or #6.5 with 3/4 tongue length (medium), and maxifirm or #7.5, full tongue length (hard). The platform is rather big, hammered for perfect balance, with rounded edge for ease in rolling up to pointe.
