OTTAWA POINTE SHOE FITTINGS & STORE
OUR FITTING PHILOSOPHY
✓ We prioritize your safety by finding a shoe that protects your feet and promotes proper alignment.
✓ We focus closely on your comfort because you can’t dance your best when you are in pain.
✓ We carefully select styles that flatter your arches and to create a beautiful line.
✓ We are dedicated to finding a shoe that fully supports your technique, instead of holding you back.
MEET THE FITTER
Jenn Macquarrie
Our fitter, Jenn, has specialized pointe shoe fitting training, and brings decades of experience teaching dance, along with a strong background in anatomy and injury prevention. She believes passionately in meeting dancers where they are in their pointe journey, whether they’re excited and nervous about their first pair, or they’re returning to pointe as an adult with old injuries, or they’re a pre-professional who needs better support.
Jenn takes the time to listen, observe, and find a shoe that helps you dance safely, comfortably, and confidently. She looks at how the shoe works with your individual feet, technique, strength, and needs.

A shankless pre-pointe shoe, sometimes called a demipointe shoe, Exam is an excellent tool for strengthening and stabilizing ankles before starting on pointe. It allows the dancer to get used to the shape and confinement of the toe box without rising on pointe.
