I finally got my Pointe Shoes you guys and I am so FREAKING excited!!!
I have been doing Ballet for about 3 years now and I have been working towards my pointe shoes SO hard so when my teacher told me I was ready I died! I couldn’t wait to get them and start working with them. About two days ago I went and got fitted. I wish I would’ve got pictures in the shop but I was so excited I forgot, I did get a pic after though in the car
Getting fitted was super easy because the lady almost got it right the first pair of shoes so it didn’t take long at all.
I had class that night so my teacher was going to show me how to sew them up and make sure they were a proper fit and all that. Thankfully one of the other teachers who works at the studio offered to sew my first pair for me and I will forever love her because I so had no idea what I was doing 😛
She is honestly the BEST!
I will be able to use them in class next week hopefully and I am SO pumped. They look so great and I am absolutely obsessed with them
In case you guys are wondering I got them from Bloch and they are a size 5.5! Super comfy(for a pointe shoe) and I got some really nice gel padding for my toes.
If any of you guys dance I would love to hear about your first time getting your shoes! Don’t forget to check out my last post~Miss Me Jeans Photoshoot~ and you can also find me on all the following social media so feel free to stalk me 😉
Xoxo,
Alex~
Yayy!! Enjoy the shoes 😀
Love ballet!!

I was 12 when I got my first pair of shoes, so I don’t remember anything other than a lot of sewing, a little bit of lambswool, and hours of work at the barre! I take advanced adult classes at the Royal Winnipeg Ballet now, so I might be getting back into pointe soon. Which Bloch model are you using? Cheers!

The European Style!! My instructor is always laughing about how she only had lambs wool back in the day and now we have all these nice gel pads! Haha.

I can’t do the gel pads! I find that it masks everything and makes it difficult to know what my feet are telling me. More power to you, though! 🙂
