your shoes are definatly dead!. if you dont want to buy a new pair of shoes just take the jet glue and hold your pointe shoes in the position you would be in on releve!. then pour some glue down into the box and gently move it around by rotation the show and causing the glue to get everywhere in the box!. this prevents any bumps and things that will hurt when you wear them!. you need to strengthen your foot much more if you want to get all of the way over the box en pointe as well!. i would try grishkos!. if you cant get the glue to work then you MUST buy a new pair!. dancing on dead shoes is painful and you could seriously injure yourselfWww@QuestionHome@Com
it sounds like you got a bad brande of shoes!. jet glue only works temporarily and doesn't do much honestly!. it could be your shoes but I would also evaluate the way you're dancing in them!. sometimes putting pressure on the wrong parts of the shoe can make the shoe go dead quicker!.
I would definitely get new shoes and a different brand for sure!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
Yes, I agree, it sounds like the brand of pointe shoes is not that great!. I would suggest Grishko's!. They are known for being hard!. Beleive me, the box is so hard i had to take a hammer to my last pair!. You can get a pair but if you are a begginner i would suggest getting the shank in a soft or medium since that does not seem to be a problem!. If you do nothing beforehand to them than the glue in the grishkos should hold up for quite a while!. I have been wearing them for three years now and absolutely love them!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com
