Question: Are these pointe shoes dead!?
We just began pointe, and one of the girls that dances with me the platform of her shoes you can feel her toes through it almost!! it always hurts when she goes up on pointe!. are they dead!? i don't understand how they already can be dead because she got them about 1 month ago and we're beginner pointe so we have done barely anything!! they also gave her a hard shank and shes a beginner! so bottom line you can practically feel her toes through the platform, like it doesnt even make a sound when she walks (i know thats a good thing) but we dont think that is her own doing!. please help!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Has she been practicing at home!. That can deaden them faster!. Or it might be that they sold her deffective shoes!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

YES!!!!!! Get new shoes!!!! It is unsafe to be dancing on dead shoes!!!!!!!!If I were her I would try a different brand because those might be too soft for her feet!. also maybe she has really strong feet and that's just how fast she goes through them!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I have 9 hours a week of pointe( I'm 12 and i went on pointe 2 springs ago) and i go through 1 every 2 weeks,so it isn't unusual that, that happened!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

a beginners shoe is ment to do that!. The more advanced dancer will have a harder shoe!. Www@QuestionHome@Com
