The Merlet Cloé is designed for the intermediate to advanced dancer seeking graceful transitions and enduring elegance. Crafted with 100% French development in Merlet’s famed Limoges workshop, this model honors artisan craftsmanship while delivering exceptional performance. With its low and flexible medium vamp, the shoe ensures a seamless and fluid transition from demi-pointe to full pointe—perfect for dancers working on pointe technique and expression 

The full sole made of ‘cryptonite’, an innovative material also supporting the arch, provides remarkable flexibility, superior arch support, and long-term durability. This construction helps dancers move confidently through every roll-up. Meanwhile, the square, pleatless box paired with a wide platform delivers striking stability and balance on pointe .

Hand-stitched using Merlet’s stitch-and-turn technique, the Cloé offers a seamless, tuck-finished interior that enhances comfort and reduces friction—especially appreciated during longer wear. The interior cotton lining (dyed blue) adds softness and practicality—it’s easily identifiable in a studio full of pointe shoes . Complemented by a microfiber insole that efficiently wicks moisture, this shoe is as considerate of the foot as it is of aesthetics .
