Do pointe snaps work?

Question

do pointe snaps work?

Do they damage your shoes or look ugly?

are the rubber band thingys visible after you put them on?

Answer 1

They do work and they don't damage your shoes. The only way that they could is if you tug on the ribbons really hard.

I don't think they look that ugly, on the website it says that you can't even see them 3 feet away. So that's perfect for on stage. But I wouldn't wear them for onstage.

Pointe snaps were designed for people with lots of pointe shoes who don't have time to sew. If you only go through 2 pairs of shoes a year then I wouldn't worry about it, just sew the.

You can see them, here's a picture: http://www.pointesnaps.com/images/652_IM...

I hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Honestly I am a little confused.

Are you talking elastic straps for pointe shoes?

Answer 3

they could work if only i knew what you were talking about...

Answer 4

i dont have a clue what you are talking about. i have never heard of pointe snaps b4 and i have been doing pointe for 3 years. i think you might be talking about ouch pouches or something like that. you need to get you technical words right.

Answer 5

They might work, but I doubt any school/studio would let you use them. They look awful, and you won't be allowed to use them for exams anyway. Just sew them.

Answer 6

ive heard they work but i personally fell that they r kind of ugly. but if it is a popular thing at ur studio to use pointe snaps then go  ahead. I prefer traditional sewing tho.
