Tape your toes! or else buy the squishy things you put on your toes that are being scrapped (sorry i forget what they're called, i don't use them) try http://www.discountdance.com

you should use lots of padding inside your shoe. use toe separaters (gel ones) and also a cushioned cap that goes over all of your toes. if you go to a dance supply store they should have everything you need to pad your shoes and more.

buy pads or just put cotton.

I dont know why but i would either get some toe spacers pack and in that comes with a little gel thing and/or put tape around your toe! HTH!

Ehh..Well normally its lack of padding .. but somtimes its just the show is too big/small slightly or it just needs breaking into.
