RP AKOYA FS Pointe Shoes – Design & Performance

AKOYA is a hand-sculpted pointe shoe with a tapered box that narrows from the metatarsal area towards the heel. Its medium crown, medium toe platform and streamlined heel create the distinct AKOYA shape, while the pre-arched construction follows the line of the foot en pointe.

This page is specifically for the FS - Flexible Standard Shank configuration. The pliable FS shank is one of AKOYA’s individual technical options and should only be selected when it matches the dancer’s professionally fitted RP specification.

RP AKOYA FS Technical Profile

RP AKOYA FS Pointe Shoe Construction

AKOYA uses RP’s hand-sculpted and pleated construction, with a pre-arched profile designed to follow the line of the foot. Its tapered box, medium crown, medium platform and streamlined heel remain consistent across the AKOYA model; this product differs through its FS - Flexible Standard Shank.

The Sea of Pearls Collection uses lining made from recycled materials and ocean-bound plastic, while the collection packaging contains no plastic.
