What do you do with your old pointe shoes (personally)?

Question

i just got on pointe and i think i want 2 keep all of my shoes 4 keepsakes, what do u do with your old shoes?

Answer 1

i have a giant wall of them in my room. i have like 15 pairs in tons of colors from recitals and stuff. i love it.

Answer 2

on my wall i have boards to hold all my ribbons and metals from my competition as well as pictures, under the boards there are stick looking things to hold up stuff i have 4 pair of my pointe shoes hanging from each one

Answer 3

I kept all my old ones for a while. My first couple of years on pointe I wrote with permanent pen on the inside the dates I used them and any performances i used them for and thought I would keep them forever.

But, after being on pointe for about 6 years they started to accumulate (and they were a bit smelly too).  I had around 35 pairs so I tossed anything that I couldn't wear anymore.

When you have had tons of them, they aren't as special anymore.

My grandmother had my first pair shellacked.    I think my mother has them somewhere.

Answer 4

They are on my wall as well. I hang them us using little hooks and tie the ribbons in big bows and some I keep under by bed in a box and bring them out for old times sake

Answer 5

they hang on the walls in my room!!

its sentimental!!
