Question: Pointe shoe question!? ***serious***!?
taking a break from my stupid questions:
when you go on pointe, is your foot just on the tips of your toes, or the ball of your foot or what!? because i don't think my toes could support my entire body!.!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
i've been doing pointe for 3 and a half years, wait, 4 1/2 sorry, you are on the TIPS of you TOES! they will support you!. dont worry if you want to try, i suggest seeing a doctor to make sure you are fine to do pointe, and ask your teacher about anything you have questions on, like this question!.
i hope i can help, but!.!.
you are on the tips of your toes, and they will support you!. make sure , if you want pointe shoes, that you are fitted correctly and can "feel the floor" through the shoes!. also, make sure you dont go crazy on toe pads ---- 'ouch pouches' are very uncomfortable, just FYI, so i suggest not getting those, but i also do not like the completely gell pads - they do not allow you to feel the floor!. i suggest getting "Gellows" they are a sock on one side and thin gell on the other!. they really work for me, and i enjoy them
hope i could help with anyting for Pointe!.!
