I normally get my ribbons from a nearby store, and these Freed ribbons were a lot shorter than the ones I normally get.

Pretty but slippery
by: Dancer25 - 02/27/2015

Durability:
I got this ribbon because my teacher said she liked how it wasn't shiny. I really like the look, it's pretty, and with great quality. However, it was a little slippery in my fingers, that when I accidentally cut it to short I had to re-sew the ribbons to make it longer. Overall I love these ribbons :)

Look the best of any ribbon
by: Lovediscountdance - 01/11/2015
Comfort:
Durability:
I bought these thinking they would be the prefect color pairing to Freed pointe shoes, and they are perfect. The picture isn't very flattering, but they are a really good pink color that is't too pastel but also not at all yellow. They give you plenty of ribbon for both shoes, and as long as you burn the ends off, hey won't fray. I also like that these are equally shiny on both sides so you can't mess up while sewing. The best part of these is they look great on stage, because of the more matte looking satin, unlike Grishko ribbons that are super shinny.

Best ribbons EVER
by: AlexandriaBailerina - 12/03/2013
Comfort:
Durability:
These are amazing, I always use these! The picture makes them look really orange, but in reality, they perfectly blend with ballet pink tights and also look really good with white tights. They are super durable, but not rough at all. They are also perfect for the stage because they are matte and don't require pancaking.

This is the perfect ribbon! not shiny, not crispy, not too short, not expensive, good color for any shoe and tights, could we ask for anything more? Why is there even any other ribbon in the world?

I love these ribbons! They're thick and sort of plush I guess and I would never go back to Grishko's ribbons. They're thick and durable and they look really nice with my shoes.

I love these ribbons.

I love these ribbons. I got them out of necessity at first and I liked them. And then I ordered the Grishko ribbons on accident and I was really disappointed. The Freed ribbons are thick enough to feel strong and don't wrinkle too badly.

I really like this ribbon. It is thick, but not too thick. I will never buy the Grishko ribbon again now that I've tried this! It is MUCH better! I love it! The perfect color to match my Bloch Sonatas =)

Wonderful!

I bought these ribbons not on purpose and have fallen in love with them. Great quality and last a long time. I love how it's double sided so it doesn't scratch against your tights. One of my ballet teachers actually used these ribbons when she danced pointe and that was years ago, so these ribbons have been a favorite of many and haven't changed at all. Buy these ribbons!

Like all ribbons, the ends tend to fray, but if you use a little fray check it stops it.

My favorite...
by: Jean - 05/15/2008

This is a beautiful, creamy pink ribbon with a matte finish, and it is supportive and doesn't really fray if you are careful to singe the ends and sew it well. The color matches perfectly with Gaynor Minden regular elastic and Capezio supplex/lycra pink tights, so if you're looking for an unbroken line, then this is just what works for me.

Goes well with Capezio
by: Emily - 02/28/2008 - Iowa,
Comfort:
Durability:
These ribbons are just fine, just like all the other ribbons out there. Can't really go wrong with ribbon. They fray easily, so watch out (all ribbons do). Also, they are pinker than Grishko ribbons, so they go great with the Capezio pink. They aren't as shiny as Grishko ribbons, but they hold up better and go better with Capezio shoes.

These are SO much better than Capezio. That's all I have to say. They are amazing and stay in place UNLIKE CAPEZIO!

I love these! They stay on and do not unravel like other ribbons do (especially the ones that came with my Leo's)! They are easy to sew on and stay put! Will not use any other!

Freed ribbons are the best! No matter what brand of pointe shoe I've ever bought, I always buy the Freed ribbons with them. They are a great color and not too shiny like the other brands.

Brilliance in ribbon-form
by: Imacarrie - 07/05/2006
Comfort:
Durability:
What can I say? Freed just does it better! These ribbons are flexible yet supportive, they keep the shoe on firmly but move freely with you. The colour is quite nice, even when paired with non-Freed shoes. They're really easy to adjust, they don't slip out of knots, but aren't impossible to untie, they don't dig into your leg or do that unsightly wrinkly-business at the ankle. I swear, once you switch to Freeds, you'll never go back!

Absolutely the best. Thick enough so they don't cut into you, soft and durable. Ribbons are supplied with the shoes I wear, but I always order the Freed ribbons on the side. Worth the extra money.
