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!
