They create the box, a rigid structure meant to support the foot, by layering fabric and hardening it with paste. Then, they construct the shank, the part that supports the dancer's arch, out of hard leather. Finally, they put it all together, add a vamp and connect it all. To finish it off, they cover it with pretty pink/white satin.
Bloch pointe shoes are primarily manufactured in China and Russia. The company, originally founded in Australia, has expanded its production to ensure high-quality craftsmanship while meeting global demand. Each pair is crafted with attention to detail, using specialized materials and techniques to support ballet dancers.
really any kind of pointe shoe is good just make sure u get fitted
Bloch sylphide are very good, not too strong and good for a beginner's foot that is not too strong. Very easy to break in. other types of bloch shoes can be more difficult to break in.
Pointe shoes are made of paper mache, satin to cover the shoe and a plasticy surface for the shank.
I've always worn Cecilia Kerche. They last pretty long and are quite comfortable. But everyone's feet are different, and you should always get professionally fitted for your pointe shoes. Good luck !

Either Capezio or Bloch. You should visit a place that sells pointe shoes and they should tell you which size and shoe pads to buy. Personally, I hate Capezios, but I love Grishko and Russian Pointe ( actual brand name). Some people say they are the pointe shoes from hell, but I think they are exceptional, and look really professional and elegant on your feet.

Do you mean pointe shoes or flat shoes?
It depends on the brand. In some brands, like Bloch, a women's size 4 1/2 is a size 1 in pointe shoe. Use the chart in related links for reference.

Well, since pointe shoes are made out of newspaper and satin, I would think that eventually they would biodegrate.
