Honestly, they're the only shoe that lasts me longer than a month, and I don't have the money to go through that many shoes. They haven't cause me any injury at all so as long as they do me well I think I'll stick with them :)
Ohhh... Gaynor Minden.. I would not recomend these shoes at all. Gayner Minden is the death shoe. The reason your arch looks good is because the shank is made soft. They are definently not good for class. They preformance shoes. Gaynor Minden shoes are for very weak ankles and feet. Using Gaynor Minden also can cause serious ankle weakness to the soft shank making it easy to get en pointe. This wont help! Please try anothe brand!
I don't see what anyone means by "needs serious practice." You look fine to me. The only thing I would suggest is that when you come down from your releve passe, try to land in a tighter fifth position. Other than that, quite good!
gaynors hold your arch more than other pointe shoes do, which is why many people discourage beginners to wear them because they dont allow the new dancer to develop the strength that they need for more advanced pointe work.
I am getting gaynor mindens soon. Do you like them?
but you are definitely doing a wonderful Job. your ankle strength has seemed to improved tremendously and your arches look gorgeous. Not sickling at all from what i can see, and you seem to have good control. NICE VIDEO
Thanks, and yea, Gaynors are great, they're perfect for my feet. There are some people who really hate them though, so make sure you try a pair before you buy them. Thanks :)
You should not be using those kind of ballett shoes, they will make you ankles weak these are performance shoes get different ones now!

@s3rvana Thanks, yea I know, I'm a bit sloppy in landing anything. I also had plantar facsiitis at that time so I was compromising a little bit...

Well that's what learning's all about. I have 3.5 hours of pointe a week. I'm getting there :).

yes they do, it makes it less of a task to break them in, and they don't die as fast as regular shoes at all, its great.
