Question

How do you know if your pointe shoes are too small or too big?

Answer 1

pointe shoes are supposed to fit like a glove. if they are too small then your toes will be crunched up or curled in the box and if they are to big when you go on pointe someone could pinch the extra fabric in the back. just because your shoes hurt does NOT mean they are too small. after a while they should hurt. i dance on my shoes for 6 hours at a time and they hurt but that does not mean they are too small

Answer 2

Too big there will be space behind your heel

Too small it will pinch your toes

Answer 3

put them on your feet. stand up on pointe. pinch the heel of the shoe. you should be able to get a pinch worth of material if they fit.

Answer 4

If they fit comfortably on your feet, they are likely the right size. Lol.
