BLUE TOES !

I have been getting very bruised toes and toe nails from ballet. The thing is I’m NOT even on pointe yet. Should I try padding my shoes? I remember a girl once put folded handee towls in her shoes. Would that work ?

  1. No, that won’t work. Get pointe shoe toe pads.

  2. Hi there, I cant quite understand why you are getting bruised toes if you aren’t on pointe.

    One suggestion is that you are putting wieght on your working leg – the one that is pointed, on the ground. Your wieght should be forward over your supporting leg, and there should be no weight on your pointed toes.

    I would ask your teacher what you are doing that is causing this. Although you can pad your shoes, there may be a more serious reason, which could lead to injury.

  3. Is it possible that your shoes are too small? I know some girls who’ve had that problem because of shoes that are too small, or shoes that are the wrong shape for their type of feet.
