Ballet/ Dance/ Pointe question! PLEASE HELP!!!!!?

Question

i have pretty wide feet and i would totally go without pads but griskos are h**l to dance in without pads. like, unbearable. the boxes in my shoes are crazy stiff and i really would like to know what kind of pads are best. I would like to feel the floor but i want to minimize the pain as much as possibe at the same time. i Was thinking of using gel pads. i was using the regular bloch toe pads but they do absolutly nothing for me. I wear Grishko Elites right now and i would really like to know which pads might work best. PLEASE HELP! Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

honestly if u want to go with out toe pads youd have to get gaynor mindens.... but i like the toepads tht are pink or purple, i dont remember what theyre called but i have the same shoes and i wear these and theyre great, i feel the floor but it totally minimizes pain

Answer 2

Ha ha, i have wide feet and have grishko elites also! i use the ouch pouch, and get that little stick on gel material and put in the box where my big toe goes, and toe tape. they are painful to dance in though! HOPE I HELPED!

Answer 3

I have energetiks gel pads and they are pretty comfortable. They are definitely worth a try. I had grishko silicone toe pads once and all they did was give me blisters. DONT GET THEM!!!
