Question

What happens if pointe shoes are too small?

Answer 1

Your feet will hurt, end of story.

I made the mistake of saying 'oh they're not that small, I can still wear them.' And I did wear them, but they started hurting and my toes crossed over one another and by the time I finally got new pointe shoes there was almost no way I could break them in before our performance.

Answer 2

you usually go out and buy new ones.

Thats the method I usually  take, you know, buy ones that fit.

Answer 3

then you need to go out a buy new ones. you CANNOT dance in small shoes or else you might injure yourself. find a pair that fit. you will need to buy new ones everytime you grow out of them or you kill them

Answer 4

they don't fit

Answer 5

bad. things. never ever dance in pointe shoes that are too big or too broken in because you can really hurt yourself i suggest you go buy new ones as soon as possible.

Answer 6

Um... If your shoes are too small, the only thing for it is to get new ones, or stop dancing on pointe.  

If you dance in shoes that are even a bit too small, your feet might be stunted (if you are still growing), and at the very least you will have to deal with painful blisters, bunions.  That's not to mention just plain discomfort, and downright pain when you are dancing in the shoes that are too small.  Ouch!

Answer 7

Go buy some bigger ones, too small shoes cause hammer toes, bunions, and trust me when your feet hurt, you hurt all over.
