It's OK to Buy Pointe Shoes Online! - InfoBarrel I run a website selling pointe shoes, and I cop a great deal of flack from ballet teachers who say that's wrong, because students should not buy pointe shoes without having a personal fitting.That statement is so out of touch with reality, it is not funny.I agree that in an ideal world, every student would be expertly fitted when they buy new pointe shoes, from the time they start en pointe until their early twenties. If we might implement that practice, we could dramatically reduce discomfort, pain, bunions and foot injuries. But it is not realistic, because there simply aren't enough pointe shoe fitters in the world. There aren't even enough ballet shops so they can work in!I speak from experience. When I was a teen, I lived in a serious town, ranking inside the top five towns in Scotland. Even so, a nearby dance shop didn't stock pointe shoes. To get my first pointe shoes, I went to the shop, they drew a pencil outline of my foot, noted my shoe size and mailed off the order. A week or so later I got a couple of pointe shoes from Freed. No attempting to use the shoes on within the shop or advising me whether fitted – I just had to learn to experience them!Ah, you say, but that was within the dark ages – there are other dance shops around now. I thought so too, but simply last week I got a contact from a student in Australia. She lives in a large town too, of several hundred thousand people – but nevertheless, her local dance shop doesn't stock pointe shoes. Her story sounded so familiar – all you do is go to a store, they consult a size chart and send a purchase off to Bloch.If a girl living in a large city can't find a dance store that gives proper pointe shoe fittings, what about all the students who live inside country? There must be millions of girls around for whom going to a ballet store is very impractical – pointe shoes are expensive enough, without expecting your mother to adopt you countless miles towards the nearest shop!So, given there have to be so many dancers around who have no choice but to buy pointe shoes online or by mail, it feels right to provide as much information as is possible, for them to make the best possible decision within the circumstances. And that's what I've set out to do. |
