I need some pointe shoe help please! I’m not sure if my pointe shoes are dead or not.
I’ve had them for about 2 years and dancing in them occasionally until about January where I was dancing in them once a week and then for the past couple of months I have been dancing around 3-5 times a week.
I think I have pretty flexible feet and used be able to get over my box really well but I feel like I’ve been struggling more recently. I took a video today and I look really pulled back and it’s made me really disheartened as I have been training a lot more and doing theraband exercise nearly every day to build strength.
I’m wondering if the pointe shoes are dead and that is why i am no longer getting over the box? is this a thing? i thought one of the shanks was dying a couple of weeks ago because it fel very unstable when working on 1 leg so I super glued them and it did help but other than the wings (I think that’s the right name) the rest of the shoe doesn’t feel particularly soft?? any help is really appreciate!!
