My favorite part of every video is Josephine casually identifying the shoe brand and model within two seconds. 😊

A video with you and Katie, maybe where Katie dances with a pair of dead shoes, then again with broken-in shoes to demonstrate how much it affects the performance would be interesting.

Knowing very little about ballet but knowing how expensive pointe shoes are and watching a lot of Josephine's videos, it still startles me seeing how quick dancers are to rip open and break their brand new shoes right out of the box. I know they have to, but MAN it's still so scary to watch LOL. I can only imagine how it feels to be a kid in ballet explaining to their parents why their dance "supplies" (for lack of a better term) are so expensive

I will say, for big toe pain, I know a lot of people like to add more padding to the big toe and I used to be one of them. However, I've found it much more useful to add padding under my shorter toes to help even out the support and weight distribution. I used to use loose lambswool for this and eventually switched to the perfect pointe (molded silicone) toe pads.

YES DEFINITELY MAKE THIS A SERIES i would absolutely love seeing which hacks are real and which ones are terrible ideas

I'm pretty sure that the stitch she used to "Frankenstein" her point shoes was the ladder stitch also called the invisible stitch.

My hardware store lunch break is complete when I get to watch the Pointe Shop Reacts.

I love this series so much❤ It’s very helpful 😊 Also love your videos!

[LacedWithOreos]

If I'd grown up in the ballet world....I would SO start a tiny business doing peoples' shoes. It's so time consuming but I personally love that sort of tedium. Especially if I'm getting paid lmao

[Monizallart]

Please make this a series!!! I love ❤️ watching them and I’m not even a dancer 😂

[LondynxAri_offical]

Hey Josephine!! I love your vids and I just got fitted by you a few days ago! Thank you so much ❤

[abbyepayne]

plz bring back the pointe shoe hacks vids, i love going back and watching them

A 3/4 shank (maybe even a 7/8) was a must for my foot type. I have a Josephine tapered octopus foot that looks like an inverted L, so it actually helped me to not sink in my shoes as much!

[southie]

When did the lady with the ENB shirt find the time that the upstairs studio at old RAD site was empty?!? So many good memories from that studio as a rubbish dancer who refound ballet as an adult!

[romywhite]

Okay 1) why would someone use a pointe shoe instead of a demi if they dont really use the shank?
2) what are good break in tips for kids/beginners/folks who pay for their own shoes?

[kerriemckinstry-jett]

I need to cut some of the shank out of my Bloch Heritage shoes because the shank edge hits me in the middle of my heel (not comfortable when doing any move on flat). I'm worried about doing it, though, about taking out too much. I'm thinking of waiting until it's almost time for a new pair & trying it on my by then mostly dead pair... 😂

[balletmeli]

❤ these hacks I wish they were around when I was dancing.

[grahamjones]

These videos ASMR level relaxing.
Thanks for sharing, Josephine!

[zenjiart]

love your videos ❤❤❤ im not a dancer tho I wish I were😅 but these videos are still enjoyable to watch

[chicknsandwich]

I was thinking how many people watch the pointe shop but don't actually dance in ballet because I don't I just watch because dance fascinates me lol
