betherinababe11 Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 I have a bruised toenail and its half way almost falling off. It doesn't bother me when I am on pointe, just when I take my shoes off. Is there anything I can do? Also, on of my other toes feels very pressured and it was bothering me a lot during class. I really like the pointe shoes I've been wearing, Im just wondering if they might be too tight or too small!! ~!Beth!~ Quote Link to comment
Mel Johnson Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 If you're concerned that you'll have a loose toenail bopping around in your shoe, then tape it down. The chances are that you need to trim your toenails correctly, so that they don't become bruised in the first place. Quote Link to comment
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted September 3, 2004 Administrators Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Are you by any chance wearing Gaynor Mindens? Quote Link to comment
betherinababe11 Posted September 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 No, I have very archy feeet, so I can't wear Gaynor Mindens, right now I wear Freeds and Suffolks. Quote Link to comment
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted September 3, 2004 Administrators Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Okay, then first do as Mr. Johnson said and be sure your toenails are cut properly. Then, carefully check the fit of your shoes, and also the padding you are using. Perhaps changing the padding could make a difference. Quote Link to comment

dancer31220 Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 The same thing happened to me and it ended up falling off. My shoes turned out to be the culprit. I realy liked the shoes other than that... Just thought I'd add that! Quote Link to comment
