Russian Pointe Akoya Pointe Shoes

Good fit and looks good

Previously had a difficult time finding a shoe. Have been wearing this RP for the past season and they fit and look great. I like the FM shank.

Replacement for Entrada Pro?

Heard these are good for replacement of Russian Pointe Entrada pro. Overall a solidly built good quality shoe!! But not the same as Entrada pro. The platform on the Entrada pro is a touch smaller, more petite for lack of a better word, and there’s more of a taper but also a bit of a rounded taper, not a hard v shape but softly rounded V. Having said that, the Akoya is still tapered and a great shoe. I needed to go down a width and length (I wear 37.5w3 in EP and 37w2 in Akoya). The vamps are still long on my short toes so I lower them myself since vamp 1 is a custom order. For me it’s a different box shape and enough of a difference that I can’t get over the box like I can with EP. I think R class has either the CL 80 or CL 90 are comparable to EP but haven’t tried them yet.

Love the RPs
