This is amazing. Not sure why but I thought there would be more inside the shoe to hold you up. Really shows how talented ballerinas are! 😧

Ballerinas are athletes! Pure and simple. Beautiful

I always thought the toes curled under. it doesnt seem possible to carry the weight like that... It's so interesting!!

I've seen some terrible looking feet from ballet. Dancers sacrifice their feet, get them repaired and do it again. Amazing.

This video clearly shows that pointe shoes are actually torture devices cleverly disguised as silky pink shoes with a bow. 😅 And on that note, I also think that walking more than 5 steps in high heels is a cruel and unjust punishment. 😁 Comfortable flats and sneakers are my preferred mode of transportation. 😀🙌✨

Impresionante, siempre tuve esa curiosidad poder verlo como era realmente la colocación de sus dedos... Claramente esto solo demuestra lo deportistas y muy talentosas que son los bailarines de ballet... Mucho respeto ❤

And they even do pirouettes on their tippy-toes. Pure magic to watch.

Yep, no inbuilt padding. The part of the shoe that covers your toes is very hard, which helps you stay upright, so basically dancing on your toes using your leg & stomach muscles to stay upright. I used lambs wool to stop the shoes rubbing but it is a tight fit so only a thin layer can be used.
I truely loved it, only stopped when pregnant with my daughter as my balance was affected ❤

and just think, if she were putting all her weight on that shoe, it would be way more arched like when she’s dancing. 😳 crazy strength!

Thank you for showing that to us. Ouch

That.... was fascinating, thank you. I never realized that the show actually does have a heel, just a very short (lengthwise) one.

Not gonna lie as a past ballerina (had to quit due to a knee injury) it does hurt your toes at first but then you slowly get used to it.

Oh honey I’m sure you’re an exceptional dancer but those poor feet of yours. My bunions started around age 12 and now at 61, I need major surgery both feet. Only reason didn’t have surgery earlier was I was working as a travel nurse to put my kids through college!
Take care of yourself as much as you can while you’re young!

Oh wow! I have always wanted to see this!! I now understand the box... for some reason I thought your toes would actually be on the floor.- this makes so much more sense. Crazy amazing skills!!!

I thought the big toe took most damage

Thank you! I've always wondered how much work the shoe was doing to keep ballerinas on their tip toes. Ballet dancers are incredible!❤
È davvero incredibile, tutto il peso è sui piedi, sulle dita, nessuna protezione, non so come facciano, bravissime, complimenti Lori, grazie per I tuoi video ❤, ti adoro ❤
