I will never understand why ballet shoes are so expensive when they’re just paper mache😔

Umm how did I never know that your toes are at the bottom. I always thought the box was a little platform your toes were on

I watched an episode of how its made like 15 years ago and fell in love with pointe shoes. Love watching ballerinas customize them and the craftsmanship of each one

I felt so confident that there would be some kind of plaster or smth at the box, at least the very bottom. It's WILD to me how some fabric, glue and cardboard lets you do what you do

it's basically the same thing as a cast on a broken bone. wrapped fabric set and hardened.

BearCreations3D :
am I a ballerina? nope. did I watch the whole thing? yes- and it's crazy you all basically point on nothing but paper mache. I did used to think there was a block of wood at the tip bc some shoes make it seem like they are longer than the toes could reach

I loved this video. I'd never thought about what materials pointe shoes are made of. But, I've always thought there was something hard in the end of the box. 😂

I'm an ex ballet dancer but it's fun to see this because it blows my mind I think I used to find those comfortable shoes really

There are thousands of videos on YouTube on how Pointe shoes are made and all can clearly see there is no wood that goes in

Ok.. when you’re on pointe do your toes touch the ground or is the box snug enough around the toes that you are “floating”? Sorry I don’t know how else to ask!
