What pointe shoes?

Pointe shoes (aka toe shoes) are shoes that we ballerinas wear to enhance our performance. Contrary to popular opinion, Pointe shoes are not made out of wood, but of paper mache. The shoes give the illusion that we are on our toes, while in reality the shoes are supporting our weight and our toes are being cushioned by padding.Pointe shoes are not comfortable, though, and many blisters, bunions, and foot injuries come from dancing "en Pointe." To be able to dance on Pointe you must have had several years of dance and very strong ankles."If you are asking what Pointe shoes are then they are ballet shoes elevated to look like ballerinas where dancing on clouds. If you're asking what Pointe shoes do, they elevate a dancer to full pointe." -Dancecrazed


How do you glue the leather toe capps an your pointe shoes?

When I had leather toe caps on my pointe shoes, (I prefer to have the toes darned though) my dad used Ados F2 glue. The caps were cut to shape, and then stuck on. Make sure that the toe caps are the right size and shape for the toe of the shoe, because if they are to big and go over the sides onto the front of the block, it can look like you aren't en pointe properly. I hope that this helps
