One mistake that so many people make when they buy ballet shoes is they get them too small. They use the excuse that "leather stretches." The truth is that while leather does stretch, it doesn't stretch that much [probably less than a quarter of a full shoe size - ed]. I've had many experiences where the fitter has put me in a shoe so tight that my toes curled. You need room in the shoe to let the toes spread out on the floor -- without this room balancing on demi-pointe and working the foot correctly is more difficult.(http://www.danceart.com/dancestuff/ballet.htm)
Just a couple of weeks back, an order was made for my Pointe shoes, size 4c for the Intermediate Foundation class, costing RM146. So finally, i tried out my new pointe shoes on 10 Aug 2008 and was beaming with delight
