Every Gette shoe starts the same way: with hands at work and a dancer in mind. For more than 40 years, we’ve built our shoes around what matters in the studio and on stage—a secure fit, the right flexibility, and a finish that looks as good as it feels.
From the first cut to the final touch on the sole, each pair is shaped with patience and precision. Not because it sounds romantic—because it’s the only way to make a shoe that truly moves with you.
What “Handcrafted” Means at Gette
To us, “handcrafted” isn’t a slogan. It’s the work you can see up close: hands shaping, adjusting, refining—pair by pair.
One of the most recognizable steps is hand pleating. It takes experience to create pleats that sit neatly and hold their shape, while still allowing the shoe to feel soft and responsive on the foot. It’s a small detail, but it changes everything: how the shoe fits, how it looks, and how confidently you move in it.

A Craft Story You Can Wear: Fiorire Pro
A great example of our approach is the Fiorire Pro Stretch Canvas Split Sole Ballet. It brings together the materials dancers love—stretch canvas and a suede split sole—with the attention to detail that defines Gette.
It’s made for dancers who want a shoe that feels close to the foot, supports clean lines, and moves with them from warm-up to center work.
Made with Heart. Made to Move.
We make our shoes the way we always have: with care, with experience, and with respect for the art of dance.
From our hands to your next step: thank you for choosing Gette.
