Clearance Pointe Shoe FAQs

Should I buy clearance pointe shoes if I have not been fitted?

You’ll only want to buy clearance pointe shoes if you already know your exact model, size, width, and shank strength. Pointe shoe sizing does not follow street shoe sizing, and it varies by brand.

Bloch typically runs about two sizes below street size and Nikolay two to three sizes below, so a clearance pair bought on a guess is rarely a bargain. Dancers who have not been fitted yet should start with the length, width, and profile checks in a proper pointe shoe fitting.

Can I return clearance pointe shoes?

Returns follow the standard Movement Connection return and refund policy. Request the return within 30 days of receiving your order, and send the shoes back clean, unworn, and unsewn in their original packaging. Try clearance shoes on at home, on a clean floor, before sewing ribbons or elastic.

What if my pointe shoe model has been discontinued?

A fitter can match a discontinued model to a current one with a similar box shape, vamp length, platform, and shank. Bring the old pair or the model name to your fitting. Dancers who wore Grishko will find the same maker’s shoes sold today as Nikolay pointe shoes, since the brand is sold under that name in the U.S.
