Inspired by their Eastern European lineage, Bloch's Raffine Pointe Shoes take the best of the Bloch Heritage model and innovates them further to deliver a shoe with enhanced lines, built-in noise reduction, and better arch support.

The contoured heel construction and shorter outsole of the Raffine create an elegant line closely following the natural shape of the foot while en pointe. The reinforced satin provides durability and minimizes noise.

Key Benefits include:

Enhanced Lines - Excess material has been removed from the heel and a shorter outsole has been used to allow the shoe to follow the natural line of the heel more closely while en pointe.

Noise Reduction - Additional layering through the pleats and platform base provides up to 8 times more insulation from noise.

Long Lasting - Reinforced satin material is stronger and longer lasting than traditional satins, and helps reduce wrinkles providing an overall smoother look.
