How do I know I got the right fit for pointe shoes?I notice that I sometimes feel pressure when I wear my point shoes. But I was quite sure I bought ones with the right fit when I did. How do I know I got the right fit for pointe shoes?

You should have them prefessionally fitted instead of asking over the internet (you can’t trust what strangers say) or even ask your dance teacher. From just reading a couple of words it is hard to tell what your problem is.
Madison is right, it’s impossible for us (online) to know what is right for you – only YOU know how your shoes feels. If in doubt ask your teacher or return to the shop and try on other pairs (it should take about an hour or so to get fitted for your first pairs, unless you know EXACTLY what shoe you should be wearing) comparing with your original pair. Any fitter worth their salt will not let you leave the shop with incorrectly fitting pair of pointe shoes.
Different foot shapes will dictate what style and make of shoe is right for you. Pressure is pretty normal inside pointe shoes (you’re compressing your foot unnaturally after all!) but if you’re experiencing pain beyond the ‘usual amount’ of discomfort, or pain that does not go away as soon as you change your stance or take the shoe off, do not continue wearing the shoe or you may be doing nerve damage to your toes/feet. Judicious padding or taping might aid the issue, but ask your teacher first.
If possible, ask them to come to the shop while you’re fitted – they have a vested interest in keeping you dancing and preventing young dancers from sustaining a foot injury is top priority! Good luck and do let us know how it goes.
