Question: Ordering Pointe Shoes Online!?
I have had my eye on the Bloch Aspiration shoes for quite a while, and since my old shoes are dead (and its a good thing too!) I wanted to get the Bloch shoes!. I can't find them anywhere except for online though!.

Is it safe to order pointe shoes online online!?

P!.S!. In my old Grishko shoes I was a 6 1/2 xx ss what size would I be in the aspirations!? (you don't have to answer this but it would really help)

Thanks so much!!!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

It's usually a bad idea to order ballet shoes online, especially pointe shoes, which you should know because seriously, shoes are one of the biggest factor or how much you can achieve in en pointe!.

Just ballet slippers may be fine to order online but pointe shoes need to be very fitting to the owner so that he/she can get the most out of his/her ability as well as avoid any mishaps!.

Try to find dance stores around you that are selling the pointe shoes you want because all shoes are made differently and going my charts usually is a bad idea!. Even if you don't find the brand you want, you'll be sure to get a pair that is suitable for your feet!.

I got aspirations and really didn't like them, and if you are used to grishos then the aspirations will be a pain, they are really hard to get over the box and see your arch in them,
I got Bloch serenade and I prefer them a lot more!. Www@QuestionHome@Com

They usually have a size chart like on discount dance!.

It says what size to get it in under the discription!.

I hope this helps! :)Www@QuestionHome@Com

i would say that it is in your best interest to get them fitted by a professional!.
each shoe is made differently and it also varies with the size of toe pads you use!. so i would not order them online if i were youWww@QuestionHome@Com

I don't recommend buying pointe shoes online!. It's hard to tell from writing if they will feel good!. When I got my first pair of pointe shoes, I tried 3 different shoes on from 3 different brands so I say a store is the best bet!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I don't think that's a good idea!.
I think it's best to try them on first!.
