The Serenade is designed with extra support to control the foot laterally, offering a narrow, snug fit at the heel. Features • The design of the shank under the metatarsal assists in holding the foot back in the shoe. Consequently the foot is well supported. • The platform is an oblong shape with less height in the box, which helps to give lateral support when 'en pointe'. The wide platform of the Serenade can help support a dancer that is inclined to sickle or fall off pointe sideways. • The Serenade is available in standard and strong shank which makes it ideal for class and performance
