Veelgestelde vragen

What do you need besides the pointe shoes themselves?

Usually toe protection, ribbon and elastic to hold the shoe to the foot, and rosin for grip. Some dancers also use tape or gel on pressure points. What exactly you need depends on your foot and your level, so have it looked at together in the shop when you get your first pair.

Which toe protection suits me?

That differs per foot. Gel spreads the pressure and feels softer, cotton or a thinner sleeve lets you feel more of the floor. Maillots Pavlova carries Bunhead, Techdance and Merlet among others. What works for one dancer presses on another, so trying it in the shop is the best way.
