Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Só Dança Alina II P90 pointe shoe require a break-in period?
No. The Alina II P90 is engineered with innovative construction that eliminates the traditional break-in period. Dancers can wear them to class or rehearsal right out of the box without the discomfort typically associated with new pointe shoes.
How do I choose the right shank strength for the Alina II P90?
The Alina II P90 includes three interchangeable shank sets: soft (pink), medium (blue), and hard (grey). Beginners or dancers with more flexible feet may prefer the soft shank, intermediate dancers typically use the medium, and advanced or professional dancers with strong feet often choose the hard shank. A certified fitter or teacher can help guide the selection.
What sizes and widths are available for the Só Dança Alina II P90?
The Alina II P90 is available in children's sizes 2.0 through 3.5 and adult sizes 4.0 through 9.5, in widths B, C, D, and E. This wide range of sizing and widths makes it suitable for young students through professional adult dancers.
What accessories are included with the Alina II P90 pointe shoe?
Each pair of the Alina II P90 comes with three interchangeable shank sets, three pairs of toe levelers, three extenders, two microfiber platform protectors, four elastics, an accessory bag, and a mesh shoe bag. Everything a dancer needs to customize fit and protect the shoe is included in the box.
How do I care for my Só Dança Alina II P90 pointe shoes to extend their lifespan?
After each use, remove the shoes from your bag and allow them to air dry fully before storing them. Use the included mesh shoe bag for breathable storage. Avoid leaving the shoes in direct sunlight or in a sealed bag while damp. Rotating between pairs when possible will also help extend the life of the shoe.
How does the Alina II P90 compare to traditional pointe shoes in terms of durability?
The Alina II P90 is designed to outlast traditional pointe shoes. Its construction resists the typical breakdown of the box and shank that affects standard pointe shoes, meaning dancers can expect significantly more wear time per pair. This makes the shoe a cost-effective option for studios and professional dancers who go through pointe shoes quickly.
Sizing Guidelines:
Women: 2.5-3 sizes down from street shoe size
Men: ½ -1 sizes down from street shoe size
Pointe shoes should be quite snug around the foot and are best fit by an experienced professional.
When you have a good fit, the sides of the shoe will lay flat against the foot when standing on flat and there won't be any twisting through the box.
You should be able to feel the end of the box with your toes but not have them crunched.
If it feels comfy, it's too big!
