The Gaynor Minden pointe shoe is the first successful
modernization of ballet’s iconic footwear. It grew from my
love and personal experience of ballet.
As an ardent amateur I realized that sore toes did not
make me a better dancer, and as the daughter of a ballet
school founder I knew that pointe shoe frustration was
widespread. Later, as an administrator, I struggled to pay
for pointe shoes only to see them worn out after just one
show, and I saw beautiful dancers sidelined by injury.
Borrowing my brother’s bandsaw I cut open traditional
pointe shoes and found cardboard, paste, burlap, and
even newspaper. From sports I knew that modernized
equipment makes all the difference in the comfort, safety,
Eliza and John Minden, 1993
and enjoyment of physical activity. Why then were dancers
— the most elite athletes of all — using such antiquated shoes? Other artists enjoy the benefits of
progress in countless ways, from painters’ vivid pigments to pianists’ well-tuned pianos — why not
dancers, too?
Putting my outrage into action, I quit my job to study the materials that had revolutionized
modern footwear. I recruited scores of ballet teachers, dance medicine experts, and professional
dancers in New York and, in 1993, after eight years in testing and research, Gaynor Minden made
its debut.
Our shoes are made in Lawrence, Massachusetts with a unique manufacturing process that is
both state-of-the-art athletic shoe science and traditional, artisanal craftsmanship. Every pair is
inspected by hand. My husband, John Minden, is C.E.O. and deserves more credit than he ever
gets. I continue to design for dancers.
The company that John and I started in our small Manhattan apartment twenty two years ago
is now a global brand. We’re gratified that independent medical research confirms Gaynor
Mindens’ superiority in promoting safe and correct technique. We are honored that respected
teachers recommend them, and that over 200 of the worlds’ great companies buy them. We
hope you like them too.
May ballet always bring you joy,
Eliza Gaynor Minden, Head of Design

What’s The Difference?
…And Why It Matters.
Shanks and boxes made from
our flexible polymer never
weaken. Laboratory tested to
withstand over 250,000 relevés.
Five different stiffnesses to
ensure appropriate support for
dancers at all levels.
Smooth, clean throat because
drawstring opens at the side.
Textured Poron® socklinings
for impact absorption and
comfort also help prevent
“sliding down” in the shoe.
Non-collapsing box
promotes correct alignment
with every relevé — so
important for beginners
developing proper technique
and balanced musculature.
Platform offers 38%
greater useable surface for
enhanced stability.
Pre-arched shank for better support
and a prettier line — but you still have
to work your foot.
Pleatless panel also contains genuine
Poron® to eliminate noise.
Poron® Performance Cushioning has the American Podiatric Association Seal of Acceptance.

ENGLISH RIBBON
Soft, double-faced, pale peachy pink pointe shoe ribbon.
As traditional as tea at Downton Abbey.
Nylon. Ample 2 1⁄2 yd (2.3 m) for one pair of shoes.
Or by the bolt, 54 2⁄3 yd (50 m).
Imported from England.
#SA-R-101, Bolt: #SA-R-105
PALE PEACH ELASTIC
The essential.
Firm and long lasting 3/4” (2 cm) elastic.
Ample 15” (38 cm) for one pair of shoes.
Buy two if you criss-cross.
Or by the bolt, 72 yd (66 m).
#SA-E-102, Bolt: #SA-E-106
INVISIBLE ELASTIC
Lace-like stretch material that
virtually disappears next to tights.
Works for technique slippers, too.
Ample 30” (76 cm) for two pairs of shoes.
#SA-E-108
IMPERIAL ELASTIC
“Imperial” in honor of the fairy tale Emperor who had
a suit of clothes so fine that no one could see it.
Super stretchy, 7/8” (2.2 cm) wide, utterly transparent.
You don’t need to see it to believe it.
And you really will dance happily ever after.
Ample 30” (76 cm) for two pairs of shoes.
#SA-E-112

ADJUSTABLE TOE STABILIZERS
Is there a canyon between your big and second toes?
And is that second toe an extra long over-achiever? Careful, that’s
an attractive campsite for a non-hereditary bunion and its friends:
hammertoes and soft corns. Toe Stabilizers can help. Ours are
adjustable; customize both length and width. It’s simple: stack,
snip, tape in place. Made of Poron® 4000. Instructions included.
#SA-F-118
FULL SOCKLINER
For narrow, fine-boned feet: reduces
excess material at heel and sides of shoe.
Made of Poron® 4000.
Great for tap, character, and street shoes, too.
#SA-F-104
VAMP ELASTIC
Going over? Popping out? Suffering from your gorgeous arches?
Stitch Vamp Elastic in the throat of your shoe and feel the added
support that an extra-deep vamp would provide — with no
compromise of demi-pointe and no special order.
15” (38 cm) ample for one pair of shoes. Instructions included.
#SA-E-107
TOE WRAP
Save skin. Dishearten corns. And while you’re at it
make bunions feel unwelcome. Our stretchy Microfoam
toe tape protects and cushions, allows complete freedom
of movement, and peels off with no sticky residue.
So soft and light it’s almost fluffy. 5 1⁄2 yards (5 m) per roll.
#SA-T-109

TOTALLY TOES FITTING KITS
Because sore toes do not make you a better dancer.
Cool Blue Gel Crescent takes pressure off a longer 2nd toe.
Cool Blue Gel Oval takes pressure off the big toe.
Mushroom protects sensitive big toenails.
Dynamic Box Liner hugs the top and sides of the foot to prevent it from
sliding down into the box, while allowing the metatarsals to feel the floor.
#SA-F-103
[Note on materials: Our gel is extra-dense to approximate the firmness of your toe tips. Our other
cushions are all made from REAL Rogers Corp. Poron® 4000 urethane foam — not wanna-bes like
latex or EVA. Genuine Poron has the American Podiatric Association Seal of Acceptance.]
HEEL GRIPPERS
The extraordinarily useful Gaynor Minden Heel Gripper
actually keeps your shoes on your heels. Its textured surface really holds
your foot, while the peel-and-stick backing keeps gripper locked in place.
And, by filling in the extra space around your heel, it makes the back
of the shoe beautifully smooth, sleek, and free of lines and wrinkles,
(no Botox required). Especially helpful for dancers with narrow heels.
#SA-F-110
TLC RIBBON
Your feet and ankles deserve some TLC: Tendon Loving Care.
Pointe shoe ribbons must tie snugly to look neat and professional,
but standing flat they can chafe the Achilles tendon. A strategic
insertion of elastic makes ribbons comfortable. Ours are super-tidy;
ribbon and elastic are same width and color, meticulously stitched
together. Ample (4 ribbons) for one pair of shoes.

CLASSIC MESH
TIGHTS
No wonder ballerinas love mesh tights.
Mesh doesn’t just cover legs; it coats them,
clinging to every curve so the beautiful
muscular definition of the dancer’s leg is
revealed while she moves with total freedom.
Introducing our version of the classic:
• Super soft and stretchy fabric
• Comfortable cling eliminates elephant knees
• Extra-wide convertible opening
• Plush waistband
• Carefully proportioned crotch gusset
• Traditional back seam
• Choice of pink colors

TIGHTS
Call these “reality-based” tights.
We studied how pros modify their tights
so they can perform with confidence and still
maintain the classic look of a fully covered foot.
The audience will never know, but we’ve removed
material in front so toes can move freely,
and at the heels so shoes won’t slip off.
Made from our soft, super-stretchy fabric,
in a choice of colors designed to look
good under bright stage lights.
Reinforced toe and heel openings.

Our modernized mesh has a rounded,

even softer, and even more comfortable.
But we didn’t update everything: Traditionally
mesh tights have a seam in back — we think it’s
distinctive and kind of sexy — so we kept it.
Thoughtful features:
• Plush waistband
• Intelligently proportioned crotch gusset
• Extra-wide convertible opening

POMPON LEGWARMERS
No more dreary tendus.
Put some cheer into those cold winter
classes (especially up there in the
Northern latitudes where it gets dark
before you even finish frappés).
Cable knit legwarmers snuggle
your ankles and calves; saucy little
pompons make it fun.

• Super-secure large outer zip and Velcro pocket
