it depens on your foot shape... i've had to work on pointe for various performances... sansha is a good brand for people with medium sized feet, and bloch is better for wider feet. capezio can go narrow, wide or in between. grishko is good, but you can get the same feel out of any other brand more ecconomically (i know... dancers should worry more about the quality of the shoe and not the price, but if the quality is the same, why spend more?) just some advice.
