   See, our dance teacher has us simply crisscross the ribbons once in front and once in back, then tie a knot on the inside of the foot. The extra ribbon is cut off and the edges burned (which keeps it from fraying). My shoes are Capezio Glisse, and they are wonderful. The rest of my class uses Bloch (I went to a diffent retail) and their arch isn’t nearly as good. I think I got lucky there.

    I have grishko 2007’s and they work great with my feet!! I read in pointe magazine that people with grishkos usually look quite good in russian pointes you might want to try that out

    Use calimine lotion (its what you use if you have poison ivy or something like that) it in a pink bottle and just rub it over the shoe not the shank and give it a couple of hours to dry. Or some of my friends use face powder

    You can do what she said but dont soak them. get them slightly damp and it should stick well.

    I have a question: I did “pointe” for a few years, all with my dance instructors permission. Its been 2 years since then and (somehow) I managed to fit in my old shoes perfectly. do you think it would be okay to start doing pointe on my own without a dance instructors approval?

    also, I always got ingrown toenails (man,they hurt) when I did pointe, I cut my toenails down… why did that happen?

    thanks (:

    that was good. i have problems tying my pointe shoes, whenever i tie them, no matter how tight they are, they never seem to help. i don’t know if it’s because i sewed them too far forward or what… please help?
