First pointe shoes
If it is your first pair, ask your teacher beforehand whether you can wear toe pads: it changes the size. We'll do the rest here, calmly.

Mi Favorita is a ballet shop in Madrid, at Calle de Felipe V, 2 (Ópera), right next to the Teatro Real, open since 2012. We sell pointe shoes, soft ballet shoes, class and rehearsal wear, accessories and made-to-order girls’ tutus. We take our time with you, with no rush, so you leave with what really suits you.
We advise dancers of every age and level, from their first soft ballet shoes to professional pointe shoes. And if you are just starting, we get you everything you need for your first class.

The fitting
Free pointe shoe fitting
Every foot and every level needs a different model, so we take all the time it needs. You only have to book. This is how it works:
- 1
We listen
Your level, your previous pointe shoes, what bothers you and whether your teacher lets you wear toe pads, because that changes the size.
- 2
We look at your foot
Its shape, your instep, the length of your toes. No two feet are the same.
- 3
You try them on, with no rush
Different boxes, vamps and shanks, until the pair holds you.
- 4
Ready to dance
If you need it, we can guide you on where the ribbons and elastics go, so they leave here ready for class.
About 20 minutes per person · Free
To buy ribbons, spares or dancewear you don't need an appointment: come whenever you like.

Your usual pointe shoes no longer hold you the same way? We try other boxes, vamps and shanks until we find the right pair.

Christmas
Nutcracker season
December is a month of rehearsals, nerves and premieres. If you are dancing The Nutcracker this year, get your pointe shoes in good time so they are shaped to your feet by the show.
