How are the Ulanova Grishko Pointe Shoes?

Question by Payback’s A Bitch: Grishko Pointe Shoes………?
So, I have a pair of Grishko 2007s and I find that the vamp feels a bit too high. It’s really hard for me to get over the box when going into releve (in passe) and echappes. But, I love the way it’s easy to balance and do chaines and turns. I would have gotten the Ulanova’s but they didn’t have my size. Can anyone compare the two shoes? Pros and Cons? How are the Ulanova I in terms of balancing and chaine-ing/turning? Are the vamps lower or the same? Would you recommend them over the 2007? Or does anyone have any tips to fully get over the box of the 2007?

It takes a while to find the perfect fit…
I have Grishko 2007’s and LOVE them. I’ve never tried Ulanova’s so I can’t compare.
Are your shoes broken in all the way? If they aren’t that might be causing problems. If you still can’t get over the box they try going back to the pointe shoe fitter and have them fit you again to find something better, or try a different fitter and see what they think.
