How long untill pointe shoes stop hurting my toes so much?
Jackie asked:
I just went en pointe, and got my shoes yesterday. I have just been walking around and going on pointe and stuff, then I had a private lesson, where my teacher loosened the shoe a bit, by like breaking the sole so it would fit my arch. So we did spend some time breaking them in. But whenever I go on pointe, it really hurts my toenails, is this normal for your first time? Any advice appreciated!

What types of shoes make your feet look smaller?
Pinkerton asked:
I’m 5′3, skinny, and I wear a size 8 and a half or a 9 depending on the shoe. I also like skinny jeans, so if I wear some shoes my feet look even longer. I think Vans would make my feet look smaller, but I don’t like bulky shoes. Finally, I have a very low arch in my feet, so I should put orthopedic inserts into my shoes, or else my feet will start hurting.
