"Suprima MKII" by Bloch® has a streamline shape and is suited to a dancer with a narrow foot. The last itself is narrow and tapered which allows for a snug fit on the heel. The "Suprima MKII" has the smallest platform and the most tapered box of all Bloch® shoes. These two features give an aesthetically pleasing finish to the leg line. The shank is made with a 5-iron board box, and a 3-iron board centerpiece. **Four improvements to the original "Suprima": 1. Streamlined satin upper, sides of the satin upper have been lowered to reveal more of the dancers foot enhancing aesthetic, providing a more modern, streamlined look as well as reducing bunching of satin when on pointe. 2. New generation insole is virtually unbreakable creating harder wearing, longer life, better value for money, lighter, moulds quicker to the sole of a dancers arch giving greater support when on pointe. Also forces the shoe to sit flatter on stage reducing rocking and enhancing stability. 3. Longer wing puff: reduces creasing and bunching of satin when on pointe. 4. Additional padding under pleating makes these shoes quieter by cushions impact on stage reducing noise. (Size 3 smaller than street)
