ok when dancing point you wear footless tights meaning you go berefoot

make sure this is a REALLY nice shoppe they should be doing way more than just asking you your size and giving you a pair

if you have a village dance shoppe anywhere near you go there they're wonderful with point shoes

make sure the shoes are literally like molded to your feet they should not be loose at all and when they give you toe padding make sure its teh gel kind the cloth kind dont work well at all

and go for bloch brand they last a while and totally worth the moneyWww@QuestionHome@Com

You should wear your casual everyday clothes with your class tights under them!. If you don't have convertible tights, buy some, as you will need to slip your toe protection under the tights when wearing your pointe shoes!.

When you go to the shop, make sure you try on a variety of pointe shoes!. The ones you purchase should fit your feet snugly, without squashing your toes!.

You will need to buy some form of toe protection; and that is up to you!. I found when I started pointe that the gel pads were best!.

You will also need to purchase some nylon ribbon and suede toe caps to cover the ends of your pointe shoes to prevent fraying!.

Just remember, this is a major step in your dancing career and should not be rushed!.

Good luck hun, and have fun!Www@QuestionHome@Com

when i got fitted 4 pointe shoes, they told us 2 wear regular clothes and tights cuz socks or the special socks they give u r different than tights, and u want yer pointe shoes 2 fit PERFECTLY cuz if they dont they could really damage yer feet cuz r bodies werent made 4 this, and stay strong and try yer hardest in pointe class cuz its really hard and painful!. oh and b sure 2 smile while their fitting u and make sure they fit, cuz they're expensive 2 go out and buy!. keep dancin!!!!!!Www@QuestionHome@Com

just wear normal clothes!. if you already have stuff that you put in your shoes, bring that to, as that will change the fit of the shoe!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
