Pointe Shoe Fittings

A Pointe Shoe fitting is a memorable time in a dancers career. It is also a very specialized fitting requiring training, knowledge and attention to detail from the fitter as the dancers well being depends on a proper fit. A trained fitter must perform the fitting and works with the dancer one-on-one to ensure the best and proper fit. At Gabie’s our fitters go through extensive training and we make sure we have the best brands and the styles that dancers will feel confident and beautiful dancing in. 

Pointe Shoe Fittings are offered at both our Newmarket and Barrie locations and are by appointment only.
