DIVA Pointe Shoes • French-Made Pointe Shoes

Merlet DIVA Pointe Shoes are traditionally made in France for intermediate to advanced dancers. The DIVA combines a satin upper, leather sole and high vamp with Merlet’s stitch-and-turn construction for a smooth, seamless internal finish.

Its flexible large box and large platform support secure work en pointe, while the microfiber tip and technical STM polycarbonate/Cryptonite arch construction define the DIVA profile. DIVA HARD is available as a separate product.

Merlet DIVA Pointe Shoes – Design & Performance

DIVA is a traditionally French-made pointe shoe with a flexible large box and large platform. Its high 7.2 cm vamp creates its distinctive profile, while the stitch-and-turn construction keeps the internal finish smooth and streamlined.

A cotton drawstring adjusts the satin upper at the top line. Inside, the STM polycarbonate insole and Cryptonite arch form part of Merlet’s technical support construction, while the microfiber tip and leather sole complete the shoe’s performance-focused build.

Merlet DIVA Technical Profile

Merlet DIVA Pointe Shoe Construction

Merlet makes DIVA in France using its stitch-and-turn technique, which tucks the construction materials inside the shoe for a clean, seamless finish. The flexible large box, large platform, STM polycarbonate insole and Cryptonite arch construction are specific to the DIVA design.

Pointe Shoe Fitting, Size & Reordering Tip: DIVA must be selected in person with a qualified fitter and your teacher’s guidance. Please take extra care when selecting online: the size selector shows the UK size followed by the Merlet shank size in brackets - for example, UK 2 is Shank 11. Do not select from UK size alone; confirm both your fitted size and width before ordering. Ribbons and elastics are sold separately.
