Ballet pointe shoe questions.?

How many years do you have to be doing ballet to get on pointe shoes? Also, when you get on pointe shoes, when your feet get damaged, is there something you can use to try to help your feet heal a little?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It all depends on the studio, your insructor and you. You could be en pointe after one year, some it may be 8. You have to have strength in your ankles to support yourself. So in all reality there is no official amount of years because people vary in strength and all.

There is, there are many things you can do. To prevent it, people use padding inside their shoes, the toe cushions. Some people wear their shoes to sleep and around the house so they adjust to your feet. There are powders, some people just soak them in hot water with epsom ( didn't spell that right) salts.
