What professional dancers say
Incredibly comfortable. With the new Nuovala, dancing feels just like a second skin. There’s no comparison with anything I’ve tried before. The toe protectors are a breeze to put on, which saves me a huge amount of time. No sticking, no more fiddly stuffing in of cotton wool – simply perfect protection and comfort for my training and on stage.
Gabriele
(Rome)
I feel as though I can turn much more easily and quickly, and get onto my toes effortlessly. Dancing is pain-free and feels much lighter at the same time – it’s truly amazing. My foot is now in perfect contact with my pointe shoes, which gives me full control over every movement. This means I can finally make the most of my high-quality pointe shoes.
Maria (Munich)
At last, knee pads that fit perfectly under my costume and remain virtually invisible. Unlike the bulky models I’ve come across before, these allow me to focus fully on the dance – without being distracted by blue knees. I’m particularly impressed by the protection for the inner knee, which I haven’t found in any other product. Simply excellent!
