Jannssen of Paris

Jannssen of Paris was the maker of Taglioni's shoes. They are described as:

"One sized tube of satin and leather that bound and squeezed the toes into a uniformly narrow pointe that had little relevence to the dancers actual foot shape. They had no box to protect the toe and featured a flexible leather sole that supported the foot. Darning along the sides and over the toe kept the slippers in shape."
