Question: How do you clean pointe shoes !?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
there really is no way to clean point shoes because you dont really want to put water on them!.

what you can do though to cover up the dirt and make them pink (we do this in the company at my studio to make everyones shoes look the same) is calamine them!.
all you have to do is buy just regular old calamine lotion from the store,
put it on a cotton ball,
and rub it on your shoes!.
you might want to try this on an old dead pair first to see if you like the way it looks before putting it on any good shoes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

You can't clean the outside,

You can:
Trim any fraying edges
cover the entire shoe in makeup or calamine lotion
buy a new pair


If the insides are smelly you need to:
let them air out (outside of your dance bag) between classes!.
Put talcum powder or baby powder in them overnight to absorb moisture and odor!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
