hi there Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Is there a professional pointe shoe fitter in NYC that you can recommend. We are making a trip there in January. It seems that locally I can't find a retailer with enough options (Freed's are nearly impossible to find in order to actually try them on). My DD was told she needed to find a better shoe, but I don't know where to go! Quote Link to comment
bec2 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Regarding Freed, see posts #2 and #23 on this thread: Master Pointe Shoe Fitters Best of luck to you! Quote Link to comment
sthdancer Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 You might want to try the Capezio store. They have excellent fitters and a lot of styles that Discount Dance and other retailers do not carry. Quote Link to comment
balletbabe31 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 Mary Carpentar is a terrific fitter. She is currently working at the Freed warehouse in Long Island City. (It's very easy to get to by subway from Manhattan.) Capezio is in transition right now when it comes to professional fitters. Two of their fitters left in September and they are currently training new ones. They told my mom that they are hoping that they will be through "transitioning" by January. Quote Link to comment
