We are a company who cares about the customer. Whether you are looking for yourself or a dancer you love, we are here to help.
Our upcycled pointe shoes began with care for the environment. Pointe shoes only last for 10-12 hours of dancing, and afterwards, they are unusable! Rather than having them end up in the landfill, we found a way to create art with them. We use pointe shoes from dancers across the US, reshape them and completely sanitize them before customizing them to liven up your space, or create a physical memory. We also utilize YOUR pointe shoes to create personal art for you!
Any imperfections are due to previous use, but they are completely sanitized for your safety.
After we found a way to help our Earth and create usable art, we decided to venture into helping dancers keep their pointe shoes alive just a little longer. Our “Toe-tally Fresh” pointe shoe inserts are made of charcoal, baking soda, and essential oils to make your shoes last. The charcoal and baking soda pull moisture created from sweat out of your shoe, allowing them to harden up and dry out, while keeping them in your dance bag! Gone are the days of having to leave your pointe shoes out of your dance bag all night long, only to forget them the next day!
The essential oils that are mixed in add a fresh smell, combatting the typical smell of pointe shoe. And guess what…these inserts work for any dance shoe! Tap, jazz, demi pointes, ballet flats, even half-soles!
The Sparkling Shoe is so grateful to be a part of your dance journey!
