 'Gaynor Minden is the shoe that allows the artist to whisper' - Gelsey Kirkland 

 Gaynor Minden, leading producer of ballet shoes and studio apparel, celebrates its 30th Anniversary with the introduction of a new line of pointe shoes: LYRA. Lyra joins Gaynor Minden’s existing line which will now be known as EUROPA.

New York-based Gaynor Minden pioneered the use of technically advanced materials in pointe shoes. Head of Design and Co-Founder Eliza Minden created the first successful modernization of the pointe shoe in the early 1990s. Gaynor Minden has long been known as the dance shoe industry’s most innovative brand. LYRA continues the Gaynor Minden tradition of innovation with its new PREMIUM WEAVE SATIN, a proprietary blend of yarns, woven in Italy and exclusive to Gaynor Minden.

Gaynor Minden pointe shoes are famous for their durability, comfort, and quietness thanks to their molded shanks and boxes, and to their Poron® cushioning systems. They are the choice of leading dancers at major companies and dance students worldwide. LYRA uses the same unbreakable molded shanks and boxes and the same genuine Roger’s Corp. Poron®Performance cushioning that have been at the core of their products for 30 years.

Because pointe shoes must be fitted precisely in order to provide safe, secure, and comfortable support, LYRA is available with the same numerous fitting options that have always been available from Gaynor Minden. Production is now based in Eastern Europe, and the satin sourced in Italy.

The Premium Weave satin, in conjunction with some new manufacturing techniques, is a game changer,” says Eliza Minden, Head of Design and Co-Founder.“ The foot is positioned in the shoe for perfect placement and alignment, with the shank securely contacting the foot. The roll-through is effortless. The control of the forefoot is great. When you add the pliable vegan outer sole you have a wonderfully flexible shoe. This is a whole new line. GM's Premium Weave satin, is proprietary and exclusive to Gaynor Minden. No other pointe shoe can obtain it.

LYRA comes with a vegan outer sole and the same durable suede tip that has proven overwhelmingly popular. Dancers wishing a 100% vegan shoe can order LYRA with a satin tip, the same original tip that Gaynor Minden has been making since 1993.
