| Freed Makers |
|
Freed classic pointe shoes have a small stamp on the sole indicating the individual who it was made by. The following list gives current makers and the characteristics of their shoes. If you are not particular about the maker then we can normally supply from stock but if you need a specific maker and we have to have it made then the approximate timescale is shown below. If your maker is no longer available or you wish to try a similar maker then use this list to find an alternative. Please bear in mind that makers with the same characteristics still vary from one another so be prepared to experiment a little to find the perfect shoe. |
|
Please note that if your existing maker is not listed or does not have any characteristics then they are likely to be a new maker yet to develop a style or may have retired. Contact us if you are unsure or require info on a maker not listed. Freed Studios are by nature identical so they do not have a maker stamp and cannot be ordered with any variations.
