Is there any way i can get the box out of a point shoe?

Question

and no, i don't want to buy a ballet slipper so please don't say that.

**will choose a best answer

Answer 1

No you can't because

when they make the ballet shoe

the tightly fasten it o and use glue

so it doesn't fall of or break.. etc

Answer 2

yeah u  can, its quite simple.  Its called de-shanking the pointe shoe. (ur actually not making it into a ballet slipper, but a soft block.  

-pull out the leather part, but save it cause u'll need it.

-remove the nails that hold the shank to the bottom of the shoe.

-soften the platform of the shoe, but stomping and banging on it.

-place the leather insole back into the shoe using some glue to hold it down.

Hope this helps! =)

Answer 3

No im afraid you cant. the satin is just a covering. the box is molded out of paper,canvas, and wood. then the satin is glued on and the rest of the shoe is made. its pretty much impossible and they are expensive.

you could try to ripp the inside open. but idk i dotn think its possible. sorry!

Good luck
