Bloch Raffiné Pointe Shoe

Inspired by Bloch’s Eastern European lineage, Raffiné takes inspiration from our Heritage pointe shoe and innovates further to deliver a shoe with enhanced lines, built-in noise reduction, and enhanced arch support. The contoured heel construction and shorter outsole of the Raffiné create an elegant line closely following the natural shape of the foot while en pointe. The reinforced satin provides durability and minimises noise.

Enhanced lines – Excess material has been removed from the heel and a shorter outsole has been used to allow the shoe to follow the natural line of the heel more closely while en pointe.
Arch support – Provides additional support in the arch of the foot while still allowing for the full articulation of a classic insole.
Noise Reduction – Additional layering through the pleats and platform base provides up to 8 times more insulation from noise.
Long lasting – Reinforced satin material is stronger and longer lasting than traditional satins and helps to reduce wrinkles providing an overall smoother look.
