*Beginner - buy pointe shoes with softer insole, which will allows foot to work more easily in the shoe.

How should a new pointe shoe feel?
Your new pointe shoes should feel snug and you should feel some pressure at the end of the shoe. They should not feel as roomy and comfortable as regular street shoes. When standing flat or in a demi-plie position the big toe should be pressing against the end of the shoe but should not be curled or pushed back in any way. You should also be able to wiggle your toes slightly. When the shoe fits properly, it gives gentle support but does not prop up the foot. It is normal for the material at the heel to "bag" a little bit when the foot is en pointe.
Foot and Toe Padding
There are various types of foot pads available, remember the aim is to relieve pressure, not to fill up the block of the shoe. For this reason try to avoid padding that is too thick or bulky. We recommend a small amount of lamb’s wool or a foot pad made of a very thin layer of fabric-covered gel. White cotton medical tape and toe pads are recommended to protect individual toes as well. Be sure to trim your toenails regularly, file straight across and do not file into the corners of your nails!!!
