Designed as a pre-pointe shoe, the Tensus Demi-Pointe Shoe has the leather outer-sole and hard paste box of a pointe shoe, but no shank.

The Tensus gives dancers more resistance than a regular flat ballet shoe, thus enabling them to better strengthen and prepare their feet for pointe work.

Made on the same last as the Aspiration Pointe Shoe, the Tensus features a square-cut box, low sides, and a narrow heel to accentuate the shape of the foot.
