First pair of pointe shoes!! bad fitting!!! What should I do?
i have not yet started pointe but i have been doing ballet for a long time. my feet are very narrow. my first two toes are the same length and the rest are tapered. i have long toes, and bunions (where the toe joint is more prominent). my dance teacher recommended me to get Bloch heritage pointe shoes because they're good for beginners. They have a v shaped vamp, which should work because my toes are long and narrow. But when I was fitted I preferred the feel of the Bloch Axiom shoes with a u shaped vamp. I didn't really know how they should fit at all. the fitter asked me which i could feel the floor with more and i could feel it a lot in the Axiom shoes, whereas only slightly in the Heritage shoes. now when i am wearing them on flat foot i can feel the tips of my toes on the platform, almost like they are curling inside. I'm going to get them checked out by my teacher, but the fitter isn't very pleasant.
