Description
elevé (pronounced: el-uh-VEY), is a ballet training shoe designed to help new ballet dancers learn proper form.

elevé features adjustable elastic straps, 3D Printed TPU toe and heel cages, as well as soft sweat wicking materials, all with the intent of empowering new dancers as they get on point.

By supporting muscles and ligaments through tension bands and soft TPU cages, elevé holds the foot in plantar flexion so that athletes can train and strengthen through and avoid future over use injuries.
