Are your feet supposed to hurt in pointe shoes?
in the beginning, yes, your feet will hurt, but once you have broken in your pointe shoes they will start feeling like a second skin, and you will be able to practice and do pointe exercises more fluently and more easily.
Why does it hurt when you wear pointe shoes?
When your on pointe it shouldn't hurt if your feet are strong enough. It could be A: your feet aren't strong enough B: your pointe shoe isn't fitted correct Of course, if you mean pointED shoes it's because the shoe is crushing your toes together.
Where do you get pointe ballet shoes?
You should be able to buy pointe shoes from the same place you buy your normal ballet shoes, or another dance supplies shop. It is very important to ensure they fit properly, as otherwise you may hurt yourself. Pointe shoes should only be worn by dancers who know what they are doing, and have a teacher.
My demi pointe shoes soft blocks are painful to wear it puts pressure on my big toenail they were professionally fitted why is this happening and how can i make the shoes not hurt as much?
If they are relatively new, it may just be because they havent been broken in properly yet, so try bending them and kneading the ends to soften the fabric. Also, wearing them around the house can help to mould them to the shape of your feet just like with Pointe shoes. Sometimes shoes can hurt a lot at first, but once they are softened they'll usually be okay. If they still hurt, it may be best to look to into getting a new pair, as wearing shoes that don't fit right can be very bad for your feet. Even if they were professionally fitted mistakes are often made. (I had a pair of pointe shoes once that the fitter took two hours selecting and they still ended up hurting a lot and I had to change them.) The fitter may be able to give you a refund if you complain enough! If you're still concerned, speak with your dance teacher and s/he will give you the best advice from actually looking at the shoes. Hope this helps! Source: Eight years of experience with ballet shoes. Thank-you!! This helped a lot!
Do pointe shoes damage feet?
If worn and used properly then they shouldn't. When you do pointe for the first times you might get blisters and your feet will hurt, but there shouldn't be any permanant damage.
