Freed Miniature Pointe Shoes
Ekaterina’s Pointe Shoe Fitting
This young, beautiful ballet student is going through the dreaded pointe shoe fitting process that all ballet dancers go through. She is trying on a pair of Freed miniatures in this photo.
As you can see, the vamps are too long for her. She may do better in a Grishko or Russian Pointe miniature. In case you are wondering why a kitten in pointe shoes has shown up here at Pointe-shoe-brands, there are some things in life that are simply too hard to resist!
Ekaterina is a female Persian kitten and is the latest member of the Costume Creations Dancewear Company in the United Kingdom.
She still has a long way to go as far as building up foot (paw) strength, but I feel she will make a wonderful apprentice at the Mariinsky Theater when she gets older. And think how beautiful she’s going to look in a white classical tutu!
Ekaterina is now on Facebook where you can see her in her classical tutu

Hmmm…I think she may need a more tapered model with a lower profile, and possibly a shorter length. Hang in there, Ekaterina, you’ll find your perfect shoe soon enough! I hope Ekaterina finds a shop with a discount program, because buying four shoes at a time must really add up!
But once she purrrfects her pointe technique, she’d be a shoe-in for Frederick Ashton’s “La Chatte!”
I had a Himalayan cat whom I adored, and Ekaterina reminds me of her. Himalayans and Persians have such great personalities. 🙂
They seem so sweet….and she is such a good girl to hold still for the camera.
I love this article!!!!

Yes, Ekaterina came through in one piece, thank goodness….:)
