      @@morgan.r_taylor Justine mentions them around 0:13. She says she fitted this dancer in them. They have a shaped box and no shank. Some people call them demi pointe shoes because you're not meant to actually dance en pointe in them.

      True but they're not very common. Very few schools use them.

    I love these videos!! I used to work at a dance wear store and our "bread & butter" was fitting and selling our pointe shoes. I am curious why in some of the videos you don't always mention the brand and style of the shoes? It would be really helpful for me (and I am sure others) to know why you switch/change and make decisions about different shoes for different feet/dancers amidst each fitting. I am very familiar with what's out there and can likely guess what shoes you are using but I would like to see your thought process behind these fittings in choosing certain shoes so that I can help my dancers with their pointe shoe searches even better! Thank you again, the content is amazing... as usual!

    Hii ! I just bought a new pair of pointe shoes (Bloch European Balance) and it fitted perfectly at the fitting but when I tried them on at home again they started to hurt my achilles tendon. The problem: I can’t return them and everything else is perfect. I feel they fit quite well except from the fact that it really hurts when I roll up especially in demi pointe. They’re not my first pair so I know that the shoe is actually not too small as my toes aren’t crunched or anything. As I just moved far away from where I lived before there is no chance to return them...so is anybody here who might know a solution for this problem? It’s just I can’t understand myself as it fitted at the fitting and now it doesn’t anymore...Can I do anything to make them longer at the back? Thanks for answering if u had a solution 😊😊

    • @Karm1200
      @Karm1200 5 років тому +1

      You could try a different ribbon. Sometimes stretchy ribbons or the ones with the elastic sewn into them can alleviate rubbing/pain on the Achilles tendon. Bloch Elastorib, Bunheads Flexers, Primasoft stretchy ribbon, and I think Gaynor Mindon makes both types.

    • @adrianbabst6749
      @adrianbabst6749 5 років тому

      Is it just rubbing on your heel or actually making the tendon itself hurt? I had a pair of shoes where I put the elastics on too tight and it gave me horrible blisters. But if it’s causing tendinitis that’s a different issue.
