Make your search engine your best friend!. I did a search on 'break in pointe shoes bloch morphs' (no quotes) and found this site http://www!.22dance!.com/shoes!.pointe_bloc!.!.!.

Scroll down to the "BSO170L - B Morph with TMT Technology" shoe and you'll see mention of the hairdryer method you commented on!.!.!.and a link to some other information!.

If that site doesn't have what you need, then search further!. I didn't check out any other sites!. I figured you could do that yourself!. ?

Good luck and happy dancing!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I would suggest putting the shoes on, blow the hair dryer on them, were them around for a while, and then do that for about a week, and they might break easier!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

ware them all the time, and bang them up against stuff!. also put the hard part in the door way and close the door, if u know what im saying!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I have the bloch axis, another brand with the TMT heating thing!. I found the demo for you, just click "Watch Demo Video" on this link:

I wear my pointe shoes in bed! It works!.
also just keep working at it!.!.!. If you haven't done pointe work before then your feet might not be so strong, so just keep working at it!.
