Reinforced Hard Shank (Half Shank)
Made of Texon, polycarbonate, and leather, the Alfa Reinforced Hard Shank supports a highly flexible foot with stretched ligaments - either through the development of the arch or born with loose ligaments. A reinforced hard shank will provide the ultimate support to the arch. Half shank is best suited for this type of arch to ensure that the shank will conform entirely to the arch.

Handmade in the classic "turned construction" method (made inside out) by craftsmen trained in age-old European shoemaking traditions, dancers embrace Alfa worldwide.
Its clean lines contribute to a moderate crown height with lowered side and heel measurements. An open U-shaped throat provides freedom in the vamp area. The throat of the pointe shoe features an elastic drawstring encased in a cotton binding. Its reinforced platform ensures extended wear, while a silicone gel tip pad applied to the inside of the shoe's platform offers additional comfort.
High wings provide lateral support to the metatarsals. A polyurethane (microfiber) insole and back-quarter panels prevent "sliding" in the shoe and wicks away moisture. An embossed leather outsole marked with a decorative design, including the size, width, and shank strength, provides traction.
Alfa is available with pre-stitched, high-quality satin or cotton ribbons free of charge. Alfa's sizing follows the UK sizing system.
