Which pointe shoes to buy?

I would suggest that you ask your ballet teacher for recommendations. It is important to get properly fitted as the best way to injure yourself is to have bad fitting pointe shoes.

However, make sure you try your pointe shoes with them in otherwise you may find that they do not fit.

Who invented pointe shoes for ballet?

Though pointe work has been around awhile, it was 20th century Russian ballerina Anna Pavlova who was attributed to inventing pointe shoes. It was said that the famous prima had high arched insteps. This resulted in her being vulnerable to injuries while dancing on pointe.

She also had other foot problems. Her cheap air jordan 4 slender tapered feet put too much pressure on her big toes. She inserted toughened leather soles into her shoe to compensate for this. This gave her extra support and flattened and hardened the toe area. They were most like regular ballet shoes, with the ends "darned" or reinforced with extra thread. Most likely, dancers used these pointe shoes before her famous performance, but she is the first to dance a full length ballet in them, and is thus given the credit.

What are the best pointe shoes?

It's all dancer preference and also it depends on how advanced you are. If you have toes that taper, you must look for boxes that gradually get smaller as you get higher on the box. Grishko Vaganova, Bloch Suprimas, Capezio Aerial, and Capezio Pavlowa are just a few that are great for tapering toes. If you have a squared forefoot, look for a square box. Grishko Elite, Capezio Plie II, and Bloch Serenade are just a few that are great for a squared forefoot. Other things to take into consideration are toe length and arches. Short toes need short vamps, average toes need average vamps, and long toes need long vamps. If you have high arches, you may consider a 3/4 shank, but with low arches, you need more arch support which means stick to a full shank.

Beginners should have a soft and supportive shank.

Advanced dancers can get harder shanks. This depends on how easily the shoe is dying. Sometimes strong feet are able to break harder shanks more easily, but are able to hold up soft shanks.

If your shoe dies very quickly, you should consider a different shank.

Breaking in techniques vary, but never do anything too drastic, such as slamming your shoes in a door or with a hammer. If your shoes are really hard, you can lightly work them with your own hands exactly where your arch is. Wetting the box while wearing the shoe can also help. Obviously, you can't pirouette around your house, but rises going through your demi pointe, at home and before class, always helps to break in your pointe shoes.

I am still searching for that perfect pointe shoe, but I hope this can help you. Then, wrap it around your foot, leaving room on the top of the foot. The covered part is the vamp. Then, take the duct tape and start covering the cloth. Make sure you put on 3 layers of duct tape. Then take the cardboard and put it ob the insides to make a strong vamp. Then, you take the gel (or cloth) and put it in the bottom. Lastly, stand up and see if your shoe is strong enough. Enjoy!
