Finding the perfect fit - See how pointe shoes should fit!

Find out how pointe shoes should fit. A pointe shoe should fit your foot like a glove fits your hand!
They should support your joints in your feet but not restrict your movements. They should enhance the arches of your feet and look like they are extensions of your feet, not like huge clogs.
If they are well fitted, they should not be very painful either.

Sur les Pointe is a forum put together by Yuka, a ballet teacher and ex-professional ballet dancer, and Jade, a dancer and pointe shoe fitter to raise awareness of the importance of well fitted pointe shoes and offer advice on how your pointe shoes should fit, how to improve your technique, tips on how best to sew on your ribbons, how to strengthen your feet to get ready for pointe work and lots more!

Send photos or video of you wearing pointe shoes and/or your pointe work if you would like our opinion! Our judgement will be solely based on what we can see on photos and videos, and if you would like further advice in person and in or near Oxford, get in touch and we can arrange a meeting.
