ORIGINAL: jamesthehumanrug greetings golden congrats! i dont know how you are gonna do that .you will never get used ,to the wooden box toe, if this is your first time.you have, to go ,to a local teacher ,of a local ballet school and ,ask where your daughter ,or kid(boy,with big feet) can get their custom ballett slippers made. what costume place does she recomend ,and ,dance step is where i get theatre party stuff like: portable floors ,for different sound,(foot music),and, books ,on dance, info,common dance-feet injuries ; stage hand ,or dance studio supplies,etc.dance4less.com,i think you are talking character shoes,annie sprinkles', usual. s it's a very common misconception that the box of a pointe shoe is made of wood; it's made of fabric and some form of glue or paste and that's it-the box itself has no wood. the hard sound of a new pair is due to the hardened glue/paste. it breaks down quickly, and some shoes have more fabric gathered on the sole, and thus are quieter. there are various ways to "break in" the box for more comfort, depending upon the type of glue/paste used. just my $.02 "tutu" knowledge based on years of wearing them. http://www.pointeshoe.co.uk/caring.htm http://www.tutu.com/dwear_ptshbl.html#BreakIn http://www.dancer.com/aboutpointe.html if you need them custom made, suffolk will do this without a surcharge at their shop in the uk. Suffolk Pointe Shoe Co. Unit 6, Churchill Works Highfield St Earl Shilton, Leicester, England 44-14-55442767 you can also send them your needs and they will adapt their "solo" shoe, again, at no extra cost. http://www.dancer.com/fitting.html hope this helps and i wish you well.
