Question: Pointe shoe fitting!?
How can you tell or feel when the pointe shoe is the right one for your foot!?
(this is going to be my first pointe shoe fitting)Www@QuestionHome@Com


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
When you stand flat, the box should be tangible around all five toes, but not forcing them to pverlap!. The baby toe should be fitted right up against the side, but not lifitng off the shank!. The fronts of the toes need to be right up tot the front of the box, but not turning under, you need more length if thats the case!. If you stand with a foot en pointe, there should be a VERY small pinch of fabric at the back, no gapping, no bunching near the crowns!. Stand in 2nd and demi plies, that should SLIGHTLY slide the toes right into the top of the box!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

if your toes mash to the end of the pointe shoe when u are standing normally its to small
if you go up on pointe and there is alot of excess shoe at the heel of your pointe shoe then is to bigWww@QuestionHome@Com

pretty much the box of the shoe should go above the toe line and if it does not feel right below your big toe that means it does not fitWww@QuestionHome@Com
