The article says Freed "is the leading distributor of pointe shoes in the world", but this appears to be a self-made claim by Freed. Other sources (including the cited source, www.the-perfect-pointe.com/PointeShoeMakers1920.html) repeat this claim, but I've been unable to find a RS that backs it up with independent research. Accordingly, I've removed the statement pending validation by a RS that clearly bases the claim on independent research. Lambtron (talk) 19:50, 24 March 2013 (UTC)[reply]
