most teachers wont let students wear gaynor mindens and for good reason!. they dont allow beginner pointe students to develop stronger feet!. it does all the work for you!. russian are my personal favorite because you can order them custom!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

All pointe shoes are easy to break!. Professionals go through 2 or more pairs per day!. That shouldn't be the basis for determining which pointe shoe to buy!.

You should go and get professionally fitted for pointe shoes!. It's a matter of how they sit on your feet, support you, and look on your feet!. Not to mention the width, vamp, and shank strength!.!.!. You can seriously injure yourself if you're not wearing the right shoes for you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

gaynor mindens are pre-broken in!. beware when you buy them, though!. i had some but they were broken in too low for me and they didnt have any support!. they are great, but not for my feet!. i've never had russians, but blochs and capezios are my favorite :)Www@QuestionHome@Com
