I'm a fan of ballet pointe shoes, whether it's me or a girl wearing them. I have seen a new style of pointe shoes which laces up like an ordinary shoe instead of ribbons around the ankle:

I've searched the internet but cannot find them. Does anyone here have any idea of a web-site or maybe a shop (UK) where I might get them? They are made by Duval, but that's all I know.
