Belle Pointe Shoes • Traditionally French-Made Pointe Shoes

Merlet Belle Pointe Shoes are traditionally made in France for dancers beginning their pointe journey. The Belle combines a satin upper, leather sole and medium-low vamp with a stable, classic construction designed to support carefully supervised early pointe work.

Its elasticated contour creates a close finish around the foot, while the medium-low 5.5 cm vamp and microfiber tip complete this clean, practical beginner pointe-shoe profile.

Merlet Belle Pointe Shoes – Design & Performance

Belle is a traditionally French-made pointe shoe developed for beginner dancers. Its construction aims to hold the foot securely, while its medium-low vamp provides a clear, classic pointe-shoe line.

The elasticated contour follows the edge of the foot for a close finish, while the leather sole provides the structured base of the shoe. Belle is offered in several widths and shank strengths, allowing the exact configuration to be selected during a professional fitting.

Pointe Shoe Fitting, Size & Reordering Tip: Belle must be selected in person with a qualified fitter and your teacher’s guidance. Please take extra care when selecting online: the size selector shows the UK size followed by the Merlet shank size in brackets - for example, UK 2 is Shank 11. Do not select from UK size alone; confirm both your fitted size and width before ordering. Ribbons and elastics are sold separately.
