The Sonata Strong pointe shoe is an option for the dancer with very flexible arches requiring further support under the metatarsals than is offered in the Sonata. The combination shank/insole of this shoe offers added support underneath the metatarsals whilst the unsecured heel, the shape of the platform and the design of the shank/insole work together to stabilise, support and align the foot ‘en pointe’.
