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.
It’s amazing what goes into making something effortless
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.
Eliza Minden 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, 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 musicians’ superbly engineered instruments
— 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 handmade using a unique manufacturing
process that is both state-of-the-art athletic shoe science
and traditional, artisanal craftsmanship. My husband,
John Minden, is C.E.O. and deserves more credit than he
ever gets. I continue to design for dancers. Eliza Minden developing the
Gaynor Minden pointe shoe
The company that John and I started in our small Manhattan apartment twenty-nine years
ago is now a global brand. We’re gratified that independent medical research confirms Gaynor
Minden’s superiority in promoting safe and correct technique. We are honored that respected
teachers recommend them, and that over 200 of the world’s great companies buy them.
We hope you like them too.
May ballet always bring you joy,
Eliza Gaynor Minden
