The Point of Getting Exactly the Right Pointe Shoe

Some of us more than others need to work on getting pain relief, even after we discover exactly the right fit - or as close as we can get - in our pointe shoe.

To add to what I've written before on http://www.theballetstore.com, here is a more detailed process.
Put on the new shoes with all the toe-protective padding you intend to wear. Just walk around the house for a few minutes. Wear a pair of socks over them so you don't get them scuffed. Take care to walk going through the foot just as you do in bare feet - hah - or as close to that as you can get. You'll get some feel for the shoe.
