Why we don't put pointe shoes on young children
At Dancestuff we pride ourselves on our pointe shoe fittings. We have developed an extensive and thorough method for our pointe fittings, and we love getting to help dancers find the perfect shoe for their foot. We take our responsibility in fitting pointe shoes very seriously and we know the concerns that parents, teachers and dancers can have about pointe work.
Make sure you’re dancing on safe pointe shoes
How old are your pointe shoes? How many hours of dance have your gotten from them so far? Remember, pointe shoes are not designed to last forever and once they get too worn, they are no longer supportive and can become unsafe.
Caring for your first pointe shoes
We get so many questions about what to do with your first pair, it can feel a little like foreign territory when you’ve not been used to pointe shoes – so to make it a little easier for you, we’ve put together a handy guide for you!
