thats not a good idea!. pointe shoes are expensive and you shouldn't waste them!. get russians when your pointe shoes are dead!. just use your gaynors as much as possible and practice a lot in them to make them deadWww@QuestionHome@Com

to pirouttes in the gravelly driveway!.!.!. NO!
pointe shoes are very expensive and if you really want to waste a pair, go ahead!. just keep on breaking in the shank and the box- press your heel on top of the box and put all your weight on it!.!.!.!. its a great way to get them broken- in quickly!. flex your shank a lot and just use them tons i guess!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yeah, those are going to last you a long time baby!. Just keep pressing over on your box and use water and alcohol to soften them!. You'll have to break the shank which is very hard to do in those!. Good luck girl!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Use a blow dryer to make them really soft and the slam them in a door or knock them with a hammer!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
