To make wool nests for pointe shoes (this works for any type, not just grishko) you measure out a piece of wool that is about as wide as your foot. Make sure it covers the bone below your big toe (the one that is your "bunyon") and the bone below your little toe that sticks out. If these aren't covered then you can get bunyons. Gently fiddle and pull the wool to cover the tips of your toes. Pull your tights over the nest, and pull and fluff and prod the wool until it feels right. Put on your pointe shoes and test out the nests. Add or take away wool as needed.

How do they make colored pointe shoes?
They usually either dye the satin from the beginning or, in some professional companies, the pointe master or mistress will know how to dye them as ready made pointe shoes. If you use Grishko's, you can order them colored.
Which pointe shoes to buy?
I would suggest that you ask your ballet teacher for recommendations. It is important to get properly fitted as the best way to injure yourself is to have bad fitting pointe shoes. As makes go, I would suggest Grishko (2007 I would suggest, if you are a beginner on pointe). Grishko do have a website so look there. When buying pointe shoes, if possible try on Pro-Pads or Ouch Pouchs as they make wearing pointe shoes more comfortable. However, make sure you try your pointe shoes with them in otherwise you may find that they do not fit. Buying a pair of convertible tights helps in a ballet class if you are buying Ouch Pouchs or Pro- Pads but again make sure you try your pointe shoes on with these tights. I would not suggest buying pointe shoes online as you cannot try them on. Sources Personal Experience

Why do ballerinas destroy the pointe shoes?
ive honestly never heard that pointe dancers destroy there pointe shoes... on purpose They don't destroy their pointe shoes. They tear of the satin to the tips so they don't slip and they make cut or peel the inside sole. This allows the shoes to break in the way the dancers want.
