We are a team of certified fitters who strongly believe that no one is ever truly "done" learning something new about the detailed professionalism that goes into proper pointe shoe fittings. The craftmanship, technology and dancers' needs are always evolving and so does our training. We're certified professional fitters with renowned recognition in the industry; we offer in-house customizations and custom orders. Every one of our pointe-fitting trainees spends months training in the art of fitting alongside our senior and master fitters. Every fitting you receive at Footlights is done by a trained professional. In addition to our certifications, we work closely with manufacturers to test pointe shoes in development and only stock shoes we believe are exceptionally made and truly benefit dancers.
We offer customization services for pointe shoes at Footlights. Our most frequently used service is sewing. We can sew ribbon & elastic onto ballet flats and pointe shoes. We use standard placements and can accommodate most custom requests. Sewing is often a same-day service with just a few minutes wait time.
Pricing varies per service.
All sales final.
We also offer more complex services, like shank strengthening, de-shanking, softening, drawstring replacements or inserts etc. Most of these services are same-day pickup. When we cannot personally provide a special custom service in-shop, we work with manufacturers to execute the custom designs.

The staff at Footlights are incredibly helpful and accommodating! One of the items in my online order was not available. They reached out to me to let me know and put me on the wait list. When it was available they contacted me and sent it to me immediately. Their communication and customer service was very appreciated!

My daughter got the perfect pointe shoes after an appointment. She previously had ill fitting shoes from another place that hurt badly. I would definitely recommend this location future shoe purchases.
I need size 4,3x, hard 🙏
JZ43 (Slip-On Jazz Shoe) - Caramel
My daughter outgrew her pointe shoes after a couple of months and we walked in, no appointment, to do a Pointe fitting. The guy that helped us was very knowledgeable and patient to provide the best customer service we could have asked for. He took the time to help her and try on differently shoes. His customer service was very much appreciated!!
