How do I widen my pointe shoes?

Question

I just bought some new pointe shoes at a place that is really far away. I relized, when I got home, that I forgot to put on my spacers when I was getting them fitted! Now when I put them on with my spacers the're kinda small. So does anybody have any tips on how to make them a little bigger without buying new ones???????

Answer 4

after you have a class in them work with them and strech them out with your hand

Answer 5

I would either wear them while in the house and move your feet in them as much as possible. Take them to a shoe shop or shoe repair shop to see if their is anything you can do.

Answer 6

you can try taking them to a shoes maker or shoe repair place and they can stretch them for u but because there dance shoes they might charge u extra.....:^(

Answer 7

Many people slam them in a door, this isn't great because you're also flattening the box, so if that part fits you, I wouldn't use the door on them. I would suggest softening your box over your little toe by dampening your shoes with water (don't use a lot) and then wearing them until dry.
