Toe Savers

[Tamara Watts]

I hope this hasn't been posted for already, but, I saw a couple years back in a dance magazine an ad for toe savers. They are supposed to go in the tips of your pointe shoes and keep your toes from getting blistered or something. So, I was wondering, if you get those, would you have to get a size larger in pointe shoes, or what, and what do they really do?

The toe savers are to put inside your pointe shoes against the interior platform. I believe they were created to take the pressure off of the big toe, but if the shoes fit right to begin with, then we shouldn't need all that stuff.

 

Would you have to get a bigger size? I hope not! Shoes should fit properly with the padding just making them more comfortable, not taking up so much room thta we have to get a larger shoe to accomodate the padding.

My half sister did some ballet but not pointe, so I was very curious about that. Thanks! That made a lot of sense!

I completely agree. I know when I have blisters and try to use a lot of padding and gel stuff it just makes my shoes feel more uncomfortable because I have all this weird stuff in my shoes. I know I feel the most comfortable dancing when I don't have to wear anything in my shoes...except maybe some paper towel.
