BLOCH Axiom

The Axiom pointe shoe is an ideal performance shoe for a dancer with strong leg and foot muscular development. The shoe molds to the shape of the foot providing many internal contact points. The full length shank/insole is pasted up to the three/quarter and is not tacked at the heel. The standard design can be tailored to the extreme position where there is no arch resistance from the break point to the heel. With less resistance from the shank/insole past the break point the dancer will feel well supported and uplifted when 'en pointe'. The tapered box with medium to long vamp and wings keep the foot centred and held laterally. The Axiom has diagonal side seams which reduce satin creasing. The low profile creates an elegant, graceful leg line and enhances foot articulation.

  • Flexible shank at arch - Emphasizes and supports the arch of the foot 'en pointe' at the three quarter
  • Comfortable and flat last - Improves weight distribution
  • Low cut sides and heel - Better fit to show the foot rather than the shoe
  • Diagonal side seam - Reduces creasing
  • Heel cushion - Cups the heel and holds the shape
  • 'B' Paste - Molds quickly to the shape of the foot and enhances foot articulation
