The Serenade pointe shoe shank/insole gives support under the metatarsal which assists in holding the foot back in the shoe. The oblong shaped platform with less height in the box helps give lateral support when 'en pointe'. This platform shape can help support a dancer inclined to sickle or fall off pointe sideways.
'Serenade’ wearers can experience the benefits of TMT in their shoe. The TMT31 has all the features of an S0131 including the traditional S0131 insole and can be molded to the unique contours of a dancer's feet from the very first wear.

The Serene is based on the Serenade fit with a V shaped vamp. This 'V' gives an alternative to dancers that enjoy longer, slender en pointe aesthetics.
