DUVAL1 “thePRO”

DUVALS feature a hybrid style construction, combining traditional hand-built craftsmanship with modern materials creating a Pointe shoe that offers both enhanced performance and durability.

DUVALS are built with the innovative shaping of Hytrel® plastic shank to a prolonged use; often tripling shoes lifespan compared to more traditional Pointe shoes. – Variations of Hytrel® (known for its durability and flexibility) serve as a robust support structure in the construction, consequently enhancing DUVALS’ ability to withstand the rigors of intensive dancing.

DUVALS incorporate high-performance urethane foam PORON® in several areas of the shoe for its cushioning, shock-absorption and sound-deadening properties. Ballerinas can enjoy increased protection and comfort without sacrificing the shoe’s overall fit or functionality.
