The new Bloch Raffiné model is inspired by the Heritage pointe shoe with an Eastern European style and a V-shaped vamp. It takes innovation further to offer a shoe with refined lines, integrated noise reduction, and enhanced arch support. The contoured heel construction and shorter sole of the Raffiné create an elegant line that closely follows the natural shape of the foot while on pointe. The reinforced satin provides durability and minimizes noise.

The "Enhanced Arch" feature provides additional support in the arch of the shoe, but it is not a "Strong" as it does not extend the full length of the shank, allowing dancers to still achieve full articulation of the insole.

Refined Lines – Excess material has been removed from the heel, and a shorter sole is used to allow the shoe to follow the natural line of the heel more closely while on pointe.

Arch Support – Offers additional support in the arch of the foot while still allowing the full articulation of a classic insole.

Noise Reduction – Additional layers through the pleats and platform base provide up to 8 times more noise insulation.

Durability – The reinforced satin material is stronger and more durable than traditional satins and helps to reduce wrinkles, providing an overall smoother appearance.
