I used to use band-aids when I first started pointe!. And those are the same places my teacher told us would be susceptible to blisters!. So I wore a band-aid around my big toe, and one around my pinkie toe!. I don't tape my toes or wear band-aids anymore!. I just wear lamb's wool padding and my tights in my pointe shoes and I'm off! :-D The people who tape their toes may buy toe tape at a dance store!. You can probably use that brown tape, not the gray one but the regular beige-ish one that can tear like paper!. Good luck!Www@QuestionHome@Com

you can get athletic tape at a local pharmacy!.
I have never gotten a blister but when I get sore spots sometimes I just put band aids on instead of athletic tape!.

I would really suggest getting some padding (gel pads/ouch pouches)!. Maybe some lambs wool!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
