The Pink part of the shoe is the patented Dance Base Support. MDM has created the only ballet slippers that offer support, guidance and also a measured resistance to encourage the intrinsic muscles of the feet to gain strength.
- The Dance Base Support does not inhibit movement.
- The Dance Base Support allows for full articulation and is not stiff like an orthotic.
- The Dance Base Support encourages muscle activity to align students feet.

The stretch panel which we call the ‘Reflex Contour’ allows the shoe to be to as intended for aesthetics, but also allows for the range of movement that happens through a ballet class. The foot is at it’s longest when in demi plie and it’s shortest in a tendu – as the stretch panel can stretch up to a size, it can move with the foot expanding and contracting as required. Perfect for fussy dancers or parents wanting to purchase shoes with growing room.

MDM suggests that the Intrinsic/Intrinsic Reflex (Canvas) shoes can be put on a gentle cold wash in a lingerie bag to be washed. MDM does not suggest that they should be washed too frequently as it may weaken the material. Please note: once shoes have been washed, they may shrink back to original fitting size and will reform to foot throughout continued wear.

When worn with tights that blend with MDM shoes to create a seamless line, the elastic should be invisible and therefore it is possible to keep on for added support. It is also fine to cut the elastics from the shoe if this is your preference.

Before MDM, it was thought that leather shoes offered more support than canvas but as the support structure is built into both MDM canvas and leather styles, the support is equal in both materials. The material covering the foot is yours or your teachers preference.
