One is alot more open. Does it matter?

Whats the difference between these two pointe shoes?
YES! The bloch suprima fits NOTHING like a sansha, and neither fits the same as street shoe size! If you're looking for a first pair, please go get fitted. They run differently, and you need to try them with a pad.
Reply:One has a longer vamp and is whiter.
Reply:one is a bloch, and one is sansha.
Reply:The first set is for people with short toes. The second pair, the Bloch's, look more like mine. I have long toes and need a long toe box. The shoes have to support the sides of your feet, like boots, or they will be painful. It's like wearing high-heel pumps that are too wide, and you toes slip down and crunch together.
Reply:one looks a little more patented and white
Reply:it sure does matter. the pair by bloch has a much higher vamp which is for the dancer with longer toes or a small arch in her foot. if you have a deep arch in your foot the high vamp would only get in the way of proper lifting and they would fold over. not good.


the pair by sansha has a lower vamp wich is better for the dancer with shorter toes or a deep arch.


the vamp is what supports the arch. the differences that i have mentioned are very important to the arches and the length of your toes.


and you are right, one is a lot more open which is for the dancer with wider feet.


there are so many different types of pointe shoes and all arre for the different type of foot. in the end it all matters.


i hope i was of some help. good luck with your shoes!
Reply:one has a higher vamp, and it does matter. it all depends on how they look on your foot. if your foot looks better in shoes that have a low vamp then i would go wit the first one, but if you prefer high vamps then i would choose the second one. it would be best if you could try them on first to see which one fits best
