The Anna and the Veloce are built on something different — a brand new shank technology developed
by Capezio. It is one of the thinnest shanks, it does not absorb moisture the same way a traditional
shank does, and it delivers an organic, tactile response that dancers can genuinely feel. The result is a
shoe that communicates with the foot rather than working against it.
“This is a brand new shank technology. It is one of the thinnest, and it does not absorb moisture
the same way. That gives it an amazing organic, tactile response — dancers feel the floor, the
shoe, and their own foot working together in a way they have never felt before.”
The Anna is pre-arched — built on a new last that mirrors the natural arc of the foot from the very first
wear. This offers wonderful support to the intrinsic muscles of the foot, allowing them to engage
properly rather than fighting the shoe to find the right position.
