All of the brands listed here were once on the brands list with working domains and products to offer. The company either announced a merger, an out-of-business notice , decided to focus on one type of shoe, or simply faded off into the sunset.
Some we never got to know. Some might still be out there, but are missing in action. Some manufacturers may still exist, but have laid their pointe shoe models to rest permanently.
Go gently to that big rosin box in the sky.
Angelo Luzio -Today, the Angelo Luzio ballet shoe collection consists only of a wide variety of soft slippers.
Cecilia Kerche-Her lovely website and shoe models were online for a very short time. I was in love with the Ballerina model.
Etirel-Intersport- Although a soft slipper has survived, this very interesting pointe model is no longer featured on the company website.
Jowy Queen-A brand from Argentina that simply disappeared from sight.
Meiguan-They used to have a genuine domain, but no more. Even the company branding has vanished.
MeMe Dance-Created by former Gamba cobblers, we were rooting for their success. Alas, it appears success was fleeting for this brand.
Mice Fiestas– Made in Spain with an interesting name, the company that made these shoes has gone strictly Flamenco. How very sad! These shoes were so intriguing.
Mituri- This Korean brand is still alive and well with a functioning website. However, although pointe shoes can still be seen on their site, they have been described as Sold Out for ages.
Pa
uls– Discontinued making their lovely German model Pawlowa or any pointe shoe model with their branding. Pauls still exists as a business, but now only carries other brands.
Roden- An exciting brand from Israel, they came and 
went faster than a runaway locomotive.
Rumpf– Rumpf of Germany is still in business, however, they have stopped pointe shoe production and discontinued their models Anna and Maria.
Salvio-Closed doors after decades of business. A very sad and poignant tale of a dedicated family business .
Theatre Ballet– Created by Principal Dancers, this brand had six different models to choose from. Both the brand and the domain no longer exist.
Tripudio- An interesting brand that originated in Malta, but quickly vanished from the market.
TKS of Germany-Alive and well with a functioning website in 2014, the domain is now offline. These were hand-crafted with family talent and expertise, so it is disheartening to have to add the brand to the memorial page.
Diamar of Argentina– The removal of this intriguing brand and its website domain from the Internet gave me a pang of sadness. Unfortunately, these too have disappeared into that vast, mysterious realm of discontinued models.
Balletto of Brazil– This pointe shoe brand included a collection of 5 different models. On last visiting the company website, all ballet shoes are now replaced with athletic shoes.
Calidance of Colombia– It was dreadfully disappointing to discover the demise of these interesting pointe shoes from South America. I remembered how thrilled I was when I found them. I don’t know what happened, but I will say that it is a shame. They were fascinating.
D’mauro of Colombia- How sad it was to revisit their website and find that it didn’t function anymore. This is two Colombian pointe shoe brands in a row that have disappeared from the market. These are absolute gems for any collector.
Ditas of Czechoslovakia– It was an immense thrill to find a genuine Czechoslovakian pointe shoe brand to share with you. It was a huge disappointment to see that the website is now offline. I wonder why these fascinating brands die out like this. It makes me think that we will have more pointe shoe brands to collect than to dance in.
Reart of Italy– Reart has completely removed their own pointe shoe models and has now replaced them with the Club 5 brands: Bloch, Capezio, Grishko, Freed, R-Class, e.t.c. Oy vay, life as a brand hunter certainly has its ups and downs, doesn’t it? It would be wonderful to travel the world with a giant bag scooping up these discontinued treasures.
Coppelia of Italy– This brand had a working domain with a list of their own models, but sadly the website is no longer functioning. You can still locate traces of leftover stock if you search hard enough online. These pretty Italian pointe shoes are now just a memory for the dancers who loved them.
