How good are Bloch jetstream pointe shoes?
I got my jetstreams 2 months ago give or take a day and they are amazing! This is my first time on pointe, and they fitted me with gms, and other Bloch styles...but jetstreams were the best for me. They don't come with the little white pillow in the bottom of the box, but that is ok. I don't use any padding inside and it doesn't hurt too bad. I broke them in quite easily (using a door) and they are great so far! Good luck :)

I have the pointe shoes Grishko xxx. does anyone know a good way of breaking them in?
A good way to break in pointe shoes is to just wear them around the house with socks over the top.

After a while the pointe shoes should become bendier and easier to use.
How can you make homemade pointe shoes?
ABSOLUTLEY NOT! It would be very dangerous. Pointe shoes allow a dancer to go up on her toes in ballet. Only under the recommendation of her instructors is a dancer who is at least 12 with very good ballet technique allowed to go en pointe! After recommendation of your instructor you go to a local dance store and you are fitted for your first pair of pointe shoes. The fitting may take very long because it is so crucial to get the perfect fit for your foot type. These pointe shoes are made of VERY special material by shoe-makers called cobblers. There is absolutely NO WAY you could make your own pointe shoes. You need very special machines and tools. I'm sorry, but yes you do need to spend about $45-90 every time you need a new pair of pointe shoes. There is no way around this, but you can buy Jet Box Glue to help your pointe shoes last longer. I heard this helps a lot! Many online dance stores carry them.
Can you wear socks over your pointe shoes on the carpet?
You can totally wear socks over your pointe shoes on carpet if you want to warm up your feet.
