How Suffolk Pointe Shoes Are Made

At Suffolk, we’re inspired by the endless hours of hard work and dedication you put into dance, and we’re moved by the sheer joy you create. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing you with the highest quality shoes, along with everything else you need to fulfill your dreams.

Suffolk is a family business run by founders Mark and Keri Suffolk. A former dancer with a background in fashion design and purchasing for upscale retail, Keri leads the company in sales, product development and U.S. distribution. Mark, a former engineer with more than 30 years’ experience in pointe shoe manufacturing, personally designs each shoe in the Suffolk collection and oversees production to ensure his high standards.

Professional companies, dancers and retailers around the world look to Suffolk for our unparalleled pointe shoes, modern dancewear and innovative accessories. We believe in fair-trade practices, handcrafted workmanship, the best materials and personal service. But most of all, we believe in dancers like you.
