hard to break in
You know your feet the best, but for me, these were hard to break in and when they did, the arch wasn't in the right place. They were never the right shape for my feet, making them look shorter than they really are. That made it harder to get nice lines. The plie II's (capezio) worked better for me, but these might do the trick for you and they're quite a bit cheaper. These are great if you have a wider toe and a strong arch. ... Read more

if the shoe fits, wear it
It usually takes a few tries to get the right pointe shoe. There is never one specific type that is guaranteed for everyone. However, I have a slightly wider toe configuration and a weak arch. I've had to work on my feet for a long time. The shank in these shoes broke in for me much faster than my Bloch Aspirations, which I greatly appreciated. I'm usually not a fan of Capezio pointe shoes, but these ones were real nice fore me. Unlike some dancers, I don't like replacing my pointe shoes every month or all too frequently. I like to use them until they're worn down, and then I wear them as demi-pointes. Anyway, if these shoes work for you, don't try to switch. If they don't work for you, then don't try and make them. They were great for me. I let them air dry each night so that the toe wouldn't get soft and they lasted me about three months. ... Read more

Pointe(less)
Even though it may seem cool to buy pointe shoes over the internet, I don't recommend it. ALL pointe shoes fit different. There are different hardnesses of shank, different widths, and lengths. Also depending on the model of shoe, and the brand the sizes vary. Some sizes go up from street shoe sizes, and some sizes go down from street shoe sizes. My capezio contempora pointe shoes go down size in size, while the capezio giselle goes up in size. I recommend going to a dance supply store in your area to find pointe shoes.
