the new bloch etu flex 7.5 X. lovingly pre-sewn (single loop modern stretch ribbon and criss cross invisible elastic). worn to one pointe class. it's a beautiful shoe and so comfy but unfortunately not the right size for me. shank is barely broken in. tie elastics have been knotted and cut. the whole shoe looks amazing, i made sure the sewing was done in a neat way and the tie elastics are nice and streamlined. it's in almost perfect condition and heavily discounted. this would be a great choice if you wanted to try out the shoe but don't want to pay full price.
