The level of cringe is high. The confidence of people who don't know what they're talking about and probably have never taken a ballet class in their life is astronomical.
Sort of like Congresswoman Lauren Boebert of CO. A tiresome combination of ignorance and arrogance. The first amazon reviewer chick is the ballet equivalent of Lauren Boebert.
I agree with you and I have never taken ballet in my life. And I don’t believe she actually went on pointe. The way her foot was and more importantly the way the shoe was on her foot and without the sashes was totally off. Watched too many vids of Josephine and others and again this is from someone just YouTubing watching.
Sorry you just can’t put the word astronomical without someone saying “Tammy pull over, ladies and gentlemen the volume inside of this bus is ASTRONOMICAL”.
Even when the reviews on a product haven't been manipulated, the reasons people bother to leave a review in the first place result in a really skewed picture. You end up with half the reviews saying "yes, this is amazing, best product for the job ever!!", and the other half saying "this is a terrible product, don't touch it with a bargepole." Understandably, people rarely bother to go online and leave a review saying "yeah, product's OK, does the job," they record when they've had a particularly good or bad experience. But that doesn't really help when judging what to actually buy for yourself.
YES! and on top of that I have tried to leave bad reviews on these "5 star" products because the item was packaged damaged and didn't come with all the pieces and I was told you aren't allowed to comment on things like that and my review was deleted! They said I can only leave a review for the seller with those types of comments. So I asked where do I see the review scores of the sellers then so I know what they are like before I buy a product............ guess what....... you cant. I basically don't order from Amazon at all anymore unless I know the product or brand well before I buy it.
@@Urabsoluteworstnightmare ya some of them don't look sketchy though. I bought a light box for tracing and it had good reviews both on and off site. It came in the box broken with pieces missing. When I tried to leave a review saying as much Amazon deleted it saying I couldn't make that type of review.
Yeah my friend tried to get me a job doing fake amazon reviews. It paid pretty well but I just couldn't do it. (Was like 150$ a review and you got to keep the items for free)
I bought a bunch of these for party decorations. My cousin is a ballerina, she wanted her quinceañera to be ballet themed, so we got a bunch of these and decorated them with rhinestones, glitter and little fabric flowers. To ensure no one tried to dance in these abominations we filled the box with insulation foam, and then put them in the middle of natural flower arrangements as centerpieces, hung a few on the walls with ballons and all that. They looked gorgeous TBH. Grandma helped with the rhinestones.
Some companies pay people to make reviews. I hope this is the case, that she has no dance experience and was paid to make this review... which is still really bad because someone can get hurt...
I have had similar concerns as a Wilderness First Responder when reading reviews about products that claim to suck the venom out of snake bites (Sawyer extractor etc), since those products do not work and could mean someone does not seek proper treatment for a snakebite. And yet, you can still buy these products that explicitly advertise that they work for snakebites. Very concerning - not unlike the pointe shoes.
@@shariwelch8760 she literally owns a point shop bro, u better not be talking about Josephine, watch her review dancers getting pointe shoes and you can tell she knows what she doing
Oh dear. It seems the first reviewer had no idea. She had flats confused with pointe shoes (the leather/canvas comment led to this conclusion), and also thought that ballet flats were for studio and pointe for performance? Eek! I just hope no one injures themselves.
This reminds me of my 8 year old student who made her mom buy her pointe shoes. Ignoring the fact that she's way too young to go on pointe, she had ZERO dance experience. Her mom bought her a pair of classic slippers, and this little girl threw a fit until Mom got her "the real ones." (They were similar "quality" as the ones in this video.) The best I could do was ask her to wait until she goes to her first class before she tries using them. I really hope that teacher set her straight. I also emailed Mom to express my absolute terror.
My 12-year-old daughter takes ballet at the school for a professional national company, and may reach point this next Septembre (she’ll be 13 in December), if not the year after (honestly, I’m not happy with how this school handled Covid as they did promote based on who was 12 by a certain date and held back those who weren’t due to vaccine stuff, which means the next level is already 100% full including some kids who, according to some of their own parents, shouldn’t be there), and at school, she has a coule friends who started pointe at 8. My daughter’s smart though and knows why that’s a bad idea.
I know someone who bought these for cosplay - which wouldn't be so bad if she'd used them as just really crappy demi-pointes and just posed sitting or flat. But she actually tried to go en pointe with them and it was so very cringe. She originally wanted to borrow my Nikolays. As if. Edit: Josephine - you asked what they were made of... they looked to be made of a traditional canvas and paste but that paste had to have been made of concrete cos there's no give to the box or shank.
Lmfao she wanted to borrow your extremely expensive shoes with zero training lord have mercy 😂 hope she didn't hurt herself though because that just sounds like a recipe for disaster
I’ve seen so many cosplays with people trying to go on pointe, and if you try to say anything, you’re told off because “no one got hurt,” as if the people who are injured post the pics from it. Worse is when someone says they took ballet for years, but you can tell that, if they did, it was at a cut-rate small studio with an instructor who probably learned from YouTue videos.
I hate that!! When people just want to take your pointe shoes like they asked to borrow your sneakers It's like someone asking to just borrow your medication despite never having used it before in their lives. Just as stupid and personal
I mean as long as your not going on point it should be fine as cosplay the only dangerous thing about it is going on point, cause the shoes are probably not made right to even be used as real ballet shows
I just can't believe that those people were actually serious about it! They have no ideo whatsoever about going En Pointe. I mean I'm not En Pointe, but doing Pre-Pointe, and this absolutely scares me.
I’m in pre pointe too and I bought pointe shoes from Amazon for Demi pointe work and it was totally used did not work for pre pointe work but I go on pointe with it
Hilarious though scary at the same time! The injuries these so called pointe shoes are able to cause pretty easily! And they look so stiff! The scary thing being: reviewers like this saying they are dancers and giving reviews and thus advice like this for such horrific shoes. I can’t even call them pointe shoes!
When I was around 8 I got really into watching ballet videos and I wanted to get my very own pointe shoes. My mother, the sweet woman that she is after a lot of fo pressure from me went to a local fitting store and tried to book an appointment. The first thing the woman asked was if I had permission from my ballet teacher to get them. My mother naturally said no and the woman refused to sell or book me and let my mother know how and when you get the shoes. I am so thankful that she refused and my mother did not get them because if she did I would be legless and sad. Thank you for coming to my TED talk! 🤣
I’ve been doing ballet since I was five points since I was 13 I’m 16 now this hurts my soul my entire ballet career I’ve never seen or heard anybody do this before I need help
I stopped dancing at 16 when I shattered my ankle mid-performance (Swan Lake) and these videos are both hilarious and my worst nightmare at the same time.
This looks like a classic case of BS-ing a review. I agree with the other commenters that these reviewers were most likely paid something to make the review and most likely otherwise would not have purchased the product at all.
Once again I feel so badly for the amount of joy I've gotten watching Josephine become traumatized and victimized by other people's videos, and once again I know that I will keep watching it happen and finding joy in it.
That lady cracked me up so hard. Like if she’s serious she thinks she knows what’s she’s doing and is an expert like giving a review on something she knows nothing about😂
Can you react to a girl named molly b? She’s on UA-cam and she started on pointe in quarantine…. Without ballet training and she ALSO skipping the big inning part that everyone starts off to build strength because it was boring to her 🤦🏻♀️
@@cahatlady I couldn’t resist but I HAD to subscribe to Molly’s channel. The devil made me do it. I’ve never had ANY training, not even as a kid and I’ve found a dance studio who takes beginner adults - Yayyyy! Fifty-five dollars a for 1/2 hour - 😱😭 or $200.00 a month. I’m 62. I don’t know if I’m slightly daft or certifiable. *well, that subscription didn’t last long. Even I know the ribbons get tucked in…😬
Amazon is the last place where I would buy pointe shoes. Even if I always buy the same model as I was fitted some time ago, I don't trust shops, you never know what they've got in stock and whether they've had it for ages
I've only done a little bit of pointe before going off to university, and I still know they're called pointe shoes, that they have to be just right or a little smaller, what a box is, what a shank is... This is painful to watch.
One thing I've always wanted to do is a Black Swan cosplay. _THIS_ and random decoration where they're not being used to actually go en pointe is the only use for these abominations!
Josephine thank you for all you do to make sure people understand how important it is to have a proper shoe fitting with an expert. I got close to pointe shoes but it was determined my ankles would not survive the stress on them....UGHHH I cringe to see videos like that one.
Don’t worry the minute she tries to get on point, it’ll be so painful she’ll go flat immediately. I think they’re meant for walking around your house like a fluffy bedroom slippers.
Hey great thanks for the idea to look at Amazon for pointe shoes. I've been looking all over the place for affordable ones to hang in my bathroom as decor.
Josephine, you make such a sacrifice for our entertainment (and education)! I don't know how you can take it. I'm so glad that those "reviews" have been taken down as they were so clearly false. If only the horrendous "point shoe" product was removed as well!
This is the best Josephine video I have EVER seen. I agree with the person who said that she was "ashamed to admit that [she] totally enjoyed Josephine's descent into agony and madness."
That first reviewer-is she mixing up the non-pointe shoe, with proper pointe shoes-talking about split-sole leather, and no mention of shank, vamp, box. That's not a dancer. Neither am I but I did go to adult class, research etc but have not been able to dance due to a medical condition 15 yrs ago. I do occasionally do buy some shoes off ebay- for THE PRETTINESS AND ORNAMENTATION! Thanks for educating me even more through your great fittings.
I love your Channel and you inspire me so much! I do ballet and I have been for 7 years I started when I was 7. I am going en pointe soon and I’m so excited. Your tips are amazing thankyou so much! Lots of love from the uk 🇬🇧xx
I absolutely love your videos!!! I watch every single one so please take this with lots of love, the rustling on the mic can get pretty annoying when wearing headphones, I think it's your hair brushing against it? Maybe you could try putting your hair behind your shoulders when wearing a clip-on mic so the audio is clearer? xxx
The secound persons foot was so sickled i almost had a melt down, like if you don't know not to be sickling your feet then you should not be on pointe shoes! The anger i feel right now!
Now I need to get on Amazon and find these travesty videos myself for the entertainment. I don’t dance, but watching all your videos of real ballet shoes being fitted properly, I understand a fraction of what’s right and what isn’t. Enough to laugh my butt off at the fake shoe videos anyway. 😂😂
I love watching Josephine do these videos. Sadly I see UA-cam videos of people showing how they teach themselves pointe but can't get over the box & you can see the bottom of the platform from the front view eek! Even I can see that's wrong & I'm a beginner in ballet flats 😱
😅 they were just making stuff up. The second woman was hilarious when she put both of the "toepads" in as if that's the correct and normal way to wear them. 😂
Your reactions to this is the equivalent of my being a gymnastics coach and watching cheerleaders tumble. The form is cringe worthy so I totally understand your emotions to these shoes.
I'm a 30-something year old male who has never danced a minute in his life, and from watching this channel, I can confidently say I know more about pointe shoes than either of these reviewers. But would I ever try to pass my opinions off as actual knowledge? HELL NO. What is wrong with these people?
Amazon sells these super cheap and my mom found a pair for $20. She brings it up every once and a while how she could probably do pointe, she's flexible, she did ballet when she was a kid for a year, but she's 50 with bad hips. I hate to say it but places that sell cheap shoes like this not only rip off real dancers, but also the people who think all they need is the shoes. Luckily she hasn't gone through with it.
I dont know much about dance or ballet but I do know this.. if you're doing ballet and don't know where to get pointe shoes ask the teacher and don't do pointe until they say so
The level of cringe is high. The confidence of people who don't know what they're talking about and probably have never taken a ballet class in their life is astronomical.

Now I need to get on Amazon and find these travesty videos myself for the entertainment. I don’t dance, but watching all your videos of real ballet shoes being fitted properly, I understand a fraction of what’s right and what isn’t. Enough to laugh my butt off at the fake shoe videos anyway. 😂😂
WHEN THEY CALLED THE TOE PADS REINFORCEMENTS😭🤚😭🤚
These are so great… I don’t even dance and this is awesome.
Amazon buys a ton from Wish but has them stocked closer and better sizing so they can double the price.
"Thank you Peter, for sending us these videos .....[and the impending nightmares] 😱 ....umm, if you guys want to see anything else" - Josephine
I love watching Josephine do these videos. Sadly I see UA-cam videos of people showing how they teach themselves pointe but can't get over the box & you can see the bottom of the platform from the front view eek! Even I can see that's wrong & I'm a beginner in ballet flats 😱
"Reinforcements" 🤣🤣🤣
😅 they were just making stuff up. The second woman was hilarious when she put both of the "toepads" in as if that's the correct and normal way to wear them. 😂
Poor Josephine, she must feel the cringe so much worse than me (an old ballet amateur ) and I‘m already dying from cringe 😬 😬 Still so funny 🤣
“Nononono it wasnt me i swear” omg hahah
Your reactions to this is the equivalent of my being a gymnastics coach and watching cheerleaders tumble. The form is cringe worthy so I totally understand your emotions to these shoes.
I'm a 30-something year old male who has never danced a minute in his life, and from watching this channel, I can confidently say I know more about pointe shoes than either of these reviewers. But would I ever try to pass my opinions off as actual knowledge? HELL NO. What is wrong with these people?
I have the first shoe and I actually dance in them very nicely. They are a little hard to break in but I found a way
Is she just saying words? 🤣
The first one killed me, bets you can’t even go up without the other foot😭😭
lord- i would only get pointe shoes online for a costume 😭
Josephine's reactions are funny but totally share her fear and disbelief of these products!
The song oh no oh no and she going crazy over someone dancing with bad Pointe shoes 😂
It's been many years since I was en pointe, but I know one thing I can't stress enough in a pointe shoe is.... TRACTION. 🤣🤣🤣
Clearly two trained professionals doing the reviews! 🤣🤣🤣
I love the oh no music in the background LOL
I haven’t seen the inside of a dance studio since I was about 9 years old (not pointe) .. and that was a looooong time ago. Even I am alarmed!
Amazon sells these super cheap and my mom found a pair for $20. She brings it up every once and a while how she could probably do pointe, she's flexible, she did ballet when she was a kid for a year, but she's 50 with bad hips. I hate to say it but places that sell cheap shoes like this not only rip off real dancers, but also the people who think all they need is the shoes. Luckily she hasn't gone through with it.
I think the first girl thought that three pointe shoes were regular ballet flats
Hey y’all!!
God bless y’all and have a great day!✝️🤍🌈🥰
First thing my dance teacher said for pointe shoes: NEVER GET THEM ONLINE!!!!!
omg i love it how their so confident ut they dont know wt they e talkig about
I dont know much about dance or ballet but I do know this.. if you're doing ballet and don't know where to get pointe shoes ask the teacher and don't do pointe until they say so
I think some models come with like one side of the elastic already sewn, but I've seen that like once in my entire life
I only took ballet for a year when I was 8 and *I* was cringing!
