The history of Merlet started in 1974 in Limoges. Shoemaker, Roger James Merlet, had always worked with shoes.
When he decided to develop ballet shoes, it wasn't by chance that he met Roger Béchade. This famous violinist was married to a principal dancer for whom he was making the pointe shoes. From this meeting, the passion for ballet was born.
If you are interested in purchasing pointe shoes, please read below carefully, before you place an order.
1. We strongly recommend our customers to choose shoes and sizes that you are already familiar with.
2. We accept returns within 10 days of your receipt, but the shoes must have never been worn, and their strings have never been pulled. The ribbons must not be sewn on the shoes. Once you have pulled the strings, we can not accept a return. When you try them, please stand on clean soft carpet or a towel so as not to damage the fabric.
3. Some shoes, such as FR Duval, come with ribbons. If you return them, you must send back everything including the ribbons.
4. If you make a return, you are responsible for the shipping cost. You need to choose a shipping method with a tracking number. We will return the full amount of the product price, but without the shipping cost we paid.
We try to offer competitive prices by minimizing our cost. To accomplish this, we need to put returned products back into our stock. We would greatly appreciate your understanding.
