for pointe, u need a toe pad which is for beginners which feels something like felt. for advanced learners toe pads will be plastic or possibly u wont have one at all! but also for pointe, u need excellent strength of muscles and u need t have a strong point of ur toes to make ur pointe shoes look nice and pointed. u just have 2 keep on trying. that's all. i hoped that help.
PS. u might want to be balanced on a barre first or if u are at home. then try doing being balanced by the wall by putting 1 hand on the wall and balance urself. as u get better then u can try doing it without the wall. never put 2 much weight on your toes the first time. do it bit by bit and everyday. never put too much stress!

Do pointe shoes need to be broken in or can you buy prebroken in shoes such as gaynor minden for comfort and durability?
No, you need to break in your pointe shoes yourself. Anaheim Ballet offers a video on breaking in pointe shoes. Just type Anaheim Ballet The Point, or just type in breaking in pointe shoes and videos should pop up based on that. Shutting your pointe shoes in a door helps. Good luck!
