{"product_id":"bloch-performa-stretch-canvas-womens-ballet-flat","title":"Bloch Performa Stretch Canvas Womens Ballet Flat","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Performa is Bloch's lightest ballet shoe, built for dancers who want the shoe to disappear and let the foot do the work. Soft canvas stretches almost the whole way round the foot, so the shoe moves with you rather than against you.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe upper skips the usual binding and drawstring, so there's nothing pulling across the top of the foot and nothing to distort the line. The under arch sits close to the instep for a clean look on demi pointe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSplit sole pads are shaped for balance. The front pad spreads weight evenly across the metatarsals on demi pointe, and the heel pad cushions landings. Elastic is pre-sewn in an X across the foot, so the shoe is ready to wear straight away, no needle required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBloch offers the Performa across a genuine range of skin-tone shades, so dancers don't need to dye canvas to match.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Benefits\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStretch canvas moulds to the foot for a close, second-skin fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlat elastic binding avoids pressure and bulk across the top of the foot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePre-sewn X elastic means the shoe is ready to wear, no sewing required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide kidney-shaped suede forefoot pad spreads weight across the metatarsals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurved heel shape follows the natural line of the heel on pointe\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA genuine range of skin-tone shades, not just one \"nude\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stretch canvas upper, suede outsole\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFastening:\u003c\/strong\u003e Pre-sewn crossed elastic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSole:\u003c\/strong\u003e Split sole with shock-absorbing heel cushioning\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDancer Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Intermediate to advanced\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColours:\u003c\/strong\u003e Black, Cocoa, Coffee, Sand, Theatrical Pink and White\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWidths:\u003c\/strong\u003e B, C, D\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 to 8.5\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle No:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eS0284L\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSize and fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBallet shoes come in four width fittings, A (narrowest) to D (widest), and most styles offer all four.
