Pointe Shoes


Question Posted Sunday May 6 2007, 9:50 pm

[Link](Mouse over link to see full location)

In this picture, there is a pair of pointe shoes.

Ive had my pointe shoes for like .. 2 months now. They are very very unflexible. They don't bend like the ones in the pictures do.

Is there a way for me to get them like that?
Thank you!

It all depends on the brand!
to break in my pointe shoes i find it easier to close them in a door. scraping the sole sometimes helps. If that didn't help you should consider using a different brand. I suggest :
Gaynor Minden.
you dont even have to break GM's in. They are a little more expensive but they last longer and there is a lower risk of injury when wearin them.
Go on www.dancer.com to get more info!
let me know on what you have decided!

youll have to wear them a lot. im not a ballet dancer, but just like ice skating shoes, they need to be used aleast a couple of months, to be ready to use in a competion. so, just wear them around the house, (if your allowed to do that) and when your sitting or laying down, point your toes as hard as you can and leave them like that, everyday do this, soon they will be like that.

walk around in them to get the more flexible and try dancing in them at your house so when you actually dance in studios theyll be better....just get you foot used to them...and it will loosen
