Question:

What happens to a pointe shoe when totally soaks in water?

Does water damage the pointe shoe if the girl wearing it is thrown to the pool?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Yes because the shank(the hard part on the bottom of your shoe) is mae of a hard cardbord so water destroyes it and it will not be able to give your foot support.
