Demi-pointe shoes are designed for the student who is on their way to beginning pointe work!. This shoe allows the student to understand what a pointe shoe feels like and how they are to work in, while still being a flat shoe!. It has a finished hard box like a pointe shoe but no shank!. The demi-pointe shoe’s concept is to make the transition from flat to pointe a little smoother!. The demi-pointe shoes can also be used like flat shoes by professionals or students for barre or center work!. The shoe has a leather sole and elastic drawstrings!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

When you get them, wrap them in a towel and smack them with a hammer a few times!. That makes them a LOT more comfortable, and it's not even cheating - my ex-prima teacher told me to do it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

i was so excited when i got mine but they hurt like hell when doing shows! my advise would be buy cotton wool and put it in the shoes where your toes go and buy toe protectors! also expect to see blisters blood and sore patches!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
