Question:

What is the best kind of material to put in pointe shoes??

the stuff I am using is sheading!!:(


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: After eighteen years of dancing with pointe shoes, I have learned that lamb's wool is generally the best. Like the ouch pads, you can get it at most dance stores. Avoid the gel inserts, they're learning in a lot of the professional dance troupes that they are causing problems with the dancers' toes.

Remember to also experiment. What works for one dancer is not always going to work for you. Best of luck.
