Someone needs to create a longer lasting pointe shoe. It’s ridiculous how much they cost.

[@grettahucht5617]

Or reduce the price. Dancers have to be able to break in their pointe shoes, so I don't know how easy it would be to make something that lasts longer since they are meant to break down a bit.

[@lucifersmother]

The cost is because they are all handmade, and since she is with a company they pay for them. There are options for longer lasting pointe shoes, but most ballerinas prefer traditional shoes.

[@siershe]

Gaynor mindens are a great option they last me about 5 monthes but i only do abot 5 hours a week and they are about 140$

[@breonawarren1507]

To be honest: They last a long time if you aren’t a professional dancer. If you are in middle and high school and you get pointe shoes they last a long time because you are dancing 3- 4hours a day for lets say 6 days a week if that. Professional dancers dance 15 hours a day, 6 days a week maybe more. They are using them more so they wear down faster. The upside honestly is that usually companies will have the girls sign their shoes, donate them/auction them off for charities or fundraisers for scholarships.

[@aracelimondia9637]

Ballet companies provides free pointe shoes for their dancers :)

[@beniadori]

Her feet are perfect! They don't look like ballerina's feet at all. She must take really good care of them

[@lindaayumi9984]

This idea that ballerinas foot are ugly and bruised is not true. The foot is one of the main parts of a dancers body, we have to take good care of it.

[@raraavis7782]

I was so relieved by that. I'm not a ballet dancer and have only ever seen the feet of ballerinas in movies/tv series. And they always show them to have crippled looking toes and possibly even loosing nails. I'm very relieved to learn, that's not the inevitable fate of every successful ballerina.

[@celia9530]

i disagree, my feet are pretty gross, especially right after practice, but i agree that it doesn’t happen to everyone, and that her feet are amazing

as a runner I can totally relate to the recovery part lol

[@potatoes422]

This is why ballet has such a diversity problem. Even if you get past the cost of lessons/initial supplies, once you start to get good/old enough, you're going through minimum $200 a week just on pointe shoes. For YEARS. I know companies pay for them once hired, but that's brutal.

[@xys732]

I may not be understanding you completely, but for younger dancers, we usually only get new pointe shoes once every two or three months, unless your training a lot for a performance. The reason why they go through shoes so much is because they are training so much. Same thing goes for flat shoes, my flat shoes typically last me 6 months to a year.

[@amandaskywalker7331]

You don't go through this number of shoes unless you are at the professional level, at which point the company pays for them. Amateurs don't dance on pointe seven hours a day.
