What is the specific difference between the Sleek Fit and the regular stock sizes?
The new GM Sleek Fit is another innovation in pointe shoes, three years in the making. The Sleek Fit design caters to the dancer with relatively narrow heels, but wider metatarsals. The entire cut of the shoe is different (as named, a much “sleeker” line through the shoe). A Sleek Fit size may be slightly different (in width or length) than a dancer’s stock size, but that can be determined in a personalized fitting. Stock shoes are also wider in the back and middle. In a stock shoe, you can specify length, width, box, shank, vamp and heel height for most sizes. In a Sleek Fit, you can specify length, width, box and shank in most sizes.
