The Merlet Diva Pointe Shoe is crafted for the dancer who values both grace and resilience. Handmade in Merlet’s Limoges workshop, this shoe blends sophisticated artistry with structural innovation. Its 3/4 polycarbonate shank supports the arch while allowing for smooth demi-pointe transitions—perfect for dancers advancing in strength or enduring long rehearsals. The box, enhanced with a patent‑pending flexible “pastry” construction, offers comfort with a break-in period that’s refreshingly minimal.

The Diva’s long, gently tapered, low-profile vamp creates an elegant silhouette that complements the line of the foot, while its wide, deformation-resistant platform ensures stable balance en pointe. The platform is capped with durable Alcantara (suede-like microfiber)—a thoughtful touch that inspires confidence and longevity.

Inside, the Diva features a courteous combination of lavender cotton lining, a cotton drawstring, and an integrated silicone gel pad in the toe for enhanced cushioning—ideal for dancers who forgo thick padding.
