Repetto's SAVOIR-FAIRE

Our shoes, like all of our dance slippers, are crafted by artisans using techniques unique to Maison Repetto, such as the 'stitch and return' method. This exceptionally meticulous production process is employed in the creation of every Repetto dance slipper and every iconic shoe. It showcases the precision of Maison Repetto's craftsmanship, as it requires the shoe to be stitched and mounted inside out onto a sturdy yet lightweight plant-based leather sole, before being turned right side out.

This expertise gives the shoes an inimitable suppleness, making them more comfortable to wear.

The Craftsmanship that Makes Us Unique

Each of our creations is designed to provide you with freedom of movement and flexibility, while maintaining the grace and elegance of dancers.

Stitch-and-return

Our shoes, just like our ballet slippers, are handcrafted using techniques unique to Maison Repetto, including the 'stitch and turn' method. This exceptional and meticulous manufacturing process is employed in the creation of every ballet slipper and every iconic Repetto shoe. It exemplifies the precision of the Maison’s craftsmanship, as it requires the shoes to be stitched and assembled inside out on a lightweight yet durable vegetable-tanned leather sole before being turned right-side out.

Pointe shoes

The Repetto pointe shoe, the iconic product of the "Maison", has always met dancers requirements. Repetto has created the personalised pointe shoe, which is unique in France.

Since 2005, a research and development partnership with the "Université Technologique de Compiègne" has allowed us to develop a new pointe shoe that minimises sound and pain.

Leathers

Respecting our traditions, we have adapted our Maison savoir-faire to the requirements of the 21st century. Our craftsmen select the most qualitative pieces of leather and use them to create shoes and leather goods, famous all over the world.

Dancing in the rain

At Repetto, we push the boundaries of comfort and elegance with our rubber soles. Designed to withstand moisture and cold, they provide superior grip while preserving the flexibility and refined style of our creations. Combining performance and sophistication, these innovative soles ensure an elegant and secure stride, even in unpredictable weather. Repetto, where the art of shoemaking meets advanced technology.
