Frequently Asked Questions
What foot shape is the Só Dança Toshie SD40VC best suited for?
The Toshie SD40VC is designed for dancers with a tapered foot shape. The tapered box accommodates a longer first or second toe, and the high V-vamp creates a visually elongated line through the foot, making it particularly well suited for those who want a sleek, aesthetic presentation on stage.
Does the Toshie SD40VC come in sizes for male dancers or dancers with larger feet?
Yes. The Só Dança Toshie SD40VC is offered in an extended size range that goes beyond most other styles in the Só Dança pointe shoe collection. In width E, the shoe is available up to size 10.5L (adult), making it one of the few pointe shoes from Só Dança suitable for male dancers and dancers with larger feet.
What shank strengths are available in the Toshie SD40VC, and how do I choose the right one?
The Toshie SD40VC is offered in four full shank strengths: Soft, Normal, Reinforced, and Extra Reinforced. Dancers who are newer to pointe or who have a very flexible foot often prefer a Soft or Normal shank. Dancers with stronger feet or those performing at a professional level typically benefit from a Reinforced or Extra Reinforced shank for greater support and control during prolonged pointe work.
What widths does the Só Dança Toshie SD40VC come in?
The Toshie SD40VC is available in widths B, C, D, and E. Width B is the narrowest option, suitable for slender feet, while width E accommodates wider feet and is the only width available in the extended adult sizing up to 10.5L. Dancers unsure of their width are encouraged to consult the Só Dança pointe shoe size chart before ordering.
What accessories are included with the Toshie SD40VC pointe shoe?
Each pair of Só Dança Toshie SD40VC pointe shoes includes internal foam toe pads, ribbons, elastics, and leather toe covers. These accessories allow dancers to prepare the shoes for immediate use without needing to purchase additional supplies separately.
How should I care for my Só Dança Toshie SD40VC pointe shoes to extend their lifespan?
After each use, remove the shoes from your dance bag and allow them to air dry fully in a well-ventilated area. Avoid storing them in a sealed bag while damp, as moisture accelerates the breakdown of the box and shank. Rotate between two pairs when possible if you are dancing frequently. Avoid exposing the stretch canvas upper to excessive heat, which can cause the material to deform.
