Dead pointe shoes?

Question:

Dead pointe shoes?

I'm new on pointe. how do you know when your shoes are "dead"?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Pointe shoes can get worn out just by couple performances, even one. But when beginning en pointe, you're not going to wear them out too quickly if you have a good brand.

If your box or shank is cracked, the silk has so much sweat absorbed in it, it goes soft , if it gets baggy by the heal and arch. If they do not feel supportive or tightly fitted, mushy platform.

Any of those things, then it's time to get new shoes.
