Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
you can do a bunch of stuff; i always break mine in before sewing everything on them!. i used to either bend them over the ballet bar, or shut them in doors!. of course not too much, or else you'll ruin them!.


and for next time you get pointe shoes, you could try gaynor mindens!. they don't have to be broken in at all!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I've seen some GREAT vids on YouTube on how to break in your pointe shoes:

also, wrapping them up in a towel and LIGHTLY hitting them with a hammer works!. My dance teacher slams hers between a door, but that seems a little drastic : )Www@QuestionHome@Com
