SUWe’ve all seen videos of dancers doing crazy things to break in their shoes- crunching the box, cutting out parts of the shank, and slamming the shoes against concrete. But is all of that actually necessary?🤔
Professional dancers usually have a routine they have perfected over many years to quickly get their shoes exactly how they like, and that’s great! But if you are new to pointe, trying some of these methods could cause your shoes to die prematurely or even potentially cause injury.
At Suffolk, we think the best way to break in your shoes, especially for dancers new to pointe, is to simply dance in them! And then if you want to discuss customizations once you’ve gained more experience en pointe, we always recommend speaking with your dance teacher and a pointe shoe fitter first.👩🏫🩰
