danseur Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 (edited) When I tendu to the front or side my second toe gets bent because it's longer then my first toe. One of my ballet teachers told me I need to put loose lambs wool or somthing in my pointe shoes to make my first toe longer. Should I try and put wool in my ballet slippers too? I think it might slip around. What should I do? Edited April 5, 2005 by danseur Quote Link to comment
Administrators Victoria Leigh Posted April 5, 2005 Administrators Report Share Posted April 5, 2005 Danseur, check your post above. I think you meant the second toe is longer, not shorter! Anyway, it should not be a problem in ballet shoes. Many dancers have this kind of foot. Quote Link to comment
