This depends purely on how large one's ankles are. Tie your ribbons around your ankle, ignoring any excess ribbon for the time being. If you do not know how to tie your ribbons, look it up at www.YouTube.com. Once the ribbons are tied, cut them off at about two inches after the knot. Once taken off the foot, on ribbon should be longer than the other. Keep in mind that when you place the shoe on your foot with the ribbons untied, the longer ribbon should be on the inside.

Hi, Demi-Pointe shoes are safe as long as they are used correctly! They are not to be used to go on pointe in, demi-pointe shoes are designed to allow budding ballet dancers who are strengthening their ankles to experience the sensation of pointe shoes!
a very long time ago
It depends on how often you use them, how much your feet grow, and what you use them on, e.g carpet.
I've always worn Cecilia Kerche. They last pretty long and are quite comfortable. But everyone's feet are different, and you should always get professionally fitted for your pointe shoes. Good luck !
It takes a long time to get to be strong enough for a girl to start pointe. It took me ten years. This past fall was my first year on pointe; i didn't even where my pointe shoes for my recital because i am still not strong enough. it takes time and patience.
