I sold my first pair of points shoes in like Robblee 20 minutes that's including measuring may be 30 counting measuring placing sewing because I did do a few other things later after I got different elastic and ribbons I did a whole pair of shoes I crunched the box slightly a Darned the tip a did not use a greater but I did put some thing on the tip to make it less slippery I also did something to the bottom of my shoe it was like less than an hour for everything I did add some nail polish and a little wax to the tip and bottom you might have to relax it but you'll also probably keep your shoes lasting longer than the greater thing and this was the first time I ever even touched a pair of Point shoes or seen them in person I just saw them on TV and when I was looking at which ones to buy they fit perfectly I can't go up one point without holding one quite yet I am still relatively new it's only been a few days but my shoes are fantastic

[@shellnet411]

To be honest I really have been sewing for years hand stitching is all I ever do I don't use the machine but they did teach us in school it was a requirement for both male and female students to do home Mac you're doing a basic whipstitch essay are usually have my thread mine look professional like on the outside they look amazing I used the stitches they're already in the shoe so you can't see where they were stitched unless you're really really looking mine look like the stitches on the outside and I sewed all the way through so they are so tough mine are perfect

Aww thank you! It's from Peony and Plié on Etsy :)

[@aleeshuhkay]

@@BrocheBallet thank you!!

[@manoelahorn4298]

i think going with the thread through the needle til the end of it, making it a double thread and tying a knot is way easier and the thread wont slip off

[@BrocheBallet]

Definitely a great way to do it!! For a beginner, the knots can be quite challenging, but once someone is more comfortable with holding and manipulating the thread, tying a knot is a great way to start & end the thread!

[@vincenzoarieggiato120]

I wanna use point shoes nut i am male 😭😭😭😭

[@pheart2381]

Go for it! There are men out there who do pointe,and even some ballet roles for men that require pointe work. There are even all male ballet troupes that dance on pointe!

[@BrocheBallet]

Men can go en pointe, too! The preparation process is the same for all feet. Learn how to strengthen your feet for pointe here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZzVqGdnqpd9iZI
