okay, so i’ve been doing pointe for almost 3 yrs now. And i’m still trying to find the perfect pointe shoe. I need some of your help.
Well, i need to buy new pointe shoes every month. It’s not always the arch of the shoe it’s always the box of the shoe that dies first. I’m using Grishko 2007’s right now. they feel pretty good, but i just think there’s a more better pointe shoe out there that’ll fit way better.
I have a total of 10 hours of pointe per week.
oh! any suggestions of padding?
my feet are:
narrow at the heel
i basically have a Giselle/ Peasants foot.(you can google it)
i have strong feet and ankles.
my arche is not a high-arch..its pretty good. its not bad, nor normal.
Do you have any idea of a pointe shoe that’ll work best for me?
For toe pads, I love ouch pouches! They’re not too thick, or too thin, and I can still feel the floor. They’re great!
As far as shoes, for the feet you have, you may want to try a shoe with a more square, and less tapered box. I know Capezio Glisses are very square, but the shanks on them are pretty soft, so you’d go through them even faster.

You could try Gaynor Mindens- they’re boxes are pretty square in the wider widths, and they last a while if you get the right strength of shank. They didn’t work that great for my feet (but I have more egyption feet), so they may work for your’s. http://www.discountdance.com/frame_set.php3?mf=/dancewear/page_SHOE_p1.html
A grishko fouette or even elite may work for you as well. Even freeds could be a good match. Possibly even a bloch Serenade or Sonata.
However, it really is hard for me to say. You may want to check out dance.net and go to the "pointe" section, there are many threads that could help you out-http://www.dance.net/read.html?postid=1637520&replies=82&page=1

and there are many more, so just look around, or even post your own…
You’re definitely going to want to schedule a fitting, and just try on lots of shoes, and see which work best for you.
Hope this helps!
Oh and by the way, you may want to try asking this in the dance section next time ; )

I was requested to make an outdoor video in my 9 inch heeled platform ballet sandals. These shoes are great on a flat surface, but are somewhat tricky on uneven flagging, as you will be able to see from the occasional ankle wobbles. The foot is twisted in the shoe, the arch is greater than vertical, and you have an unusual footprint. Still, it was a great thrill to go for a walk outdoors in them.
