Use Tea Tree Oil. I put tea tree oil and water (50/50) in a small spray bottle, shake well and give a single spritz in each shoe. You can also rub some tea tree oil on your feet before you put them on. It really works.
After 2 decades in Gaynors the new European build no longer works for me so I am now trying to find new shoes and remembering the pain of traditional shoes again. Ouch! Then I put Gaynors back on and my feet are confused by their soft cloudiness and ease. I am happy to find someone navigating between these shoes.
Loved this video! We've basically switched at the same time 😂 Both shoes look lovely on you😍 I am actually just as comfortable in Freeds, I wear them without anything extra and they fit perfectly. I got pairs off of Freed stockers that get brand new shoes Royal Ballet dancers don't wear anymore and they wear a looooot cheaper!
I absolutely adore my Freeds and hate my Gaynors 😂 especially with the new European shoes the GM give me so much pain and I feel like I’m in constant battle with the shoe 😩 My freeds are heavenly but they only last me for 4-5 hours compared to months on the Gaynors which is why I still wear Gaynors 😅
These comments are very insightful! I understand your sentiments most especially with the price point. Which is also why I continue to wear my GM’s as well. Thank you for sharing this :(
Hey thanks for your review. That’s the problem with gaynors. If you start a beginner in them it’s hard to get away from them! But I can totally see why from a humidity point of view gaynors would need to be a go too in the Philippines
Awww gosh I believe though FREEDS and Gaynors are just about the same price. In Tokyo they’re about 17,000 - 20,000 yen or about 10,000 pesos for 2 pairs of FREEDS and sometimes they even sew on the garter and the ribbons for free if you buy 2 pairs. I believe Gaynors are about the same price in the Philippines but just for one pair is about 5000 so i think to compare it’s just that they don’t last as long as Gaynors which really is the downside to FREEDs. :( Maybe just as a spare you can have a really good pair of FREEDS to trade around with your Gaynors.
I had the perfect pair of Freeds for a Swan Lake., ome custom pair from some Royal dancer, they were perfect till they died..20 minutes later. One pair lasted exactly 5 minutes. Gaynors are very customizable. It is the correct fit, the right model for your feet. I have had one pair for 5 years, OK, they are dirty...
I now use Gaynors probably since 2 years. I really like them, but i struggle with big toe pain and bruised toe nails, so i'm really hopeing to find something different that works better for me soon. (I've heard that problem a lot with Gaynors.) But it's so hard to get a good fitting in Vienna. Thanks for your talking about your experience☺🩰
I hope you find a good pair soon! ♡ its definitely a constant search for the best pointes. I had a friend who had the same experience with gaynors too as you, she eventually gave up and went back to traditional shoes too ♡
I have the same problem 😭 I tried Freeds and they were absolutely amazing but died within 3 days of wear which is why I went back to Gaynors even though they are so painful to dance in :/

I always find myself in between all these shoes as well, hopefully we can find what works someday

I feel more comfortable in a traditional shoe myself. I love my Freeds. I like the control with traditional better.

@@dancebylina Aw thank you so much, that's good to hear! ☺💕
Their new production is a no no for me. The new production was my first gaynors so I have bad first impression about them .hahaaa
@@Parie_fawny1207 Ah, I'm sorry to hear that!
