my Gaynors

[danceurpantsoff13]

Mindens melt my heart! They really accent your feet so nicely. I love mine, my arches look so much better in Mindens than any other pointe shoe. and so dang comfortable!

[luvdance4life98]

ur arches= <3

[maggiemay466]

I've had a bit of trouble with gaynors in the past. My extremely flat feet don't seem to like them. I find grishkos more suitable but hey, thats just me.

[cjoyoates]

What shanks do you wear? PLEASE ANSWER!!

[jadoredeledanse]

they look so pretty!

i've been wanting to get gaynor mindens, but my teacher doesnt like them.

[bubblicious235]

I'm considering getting new Gaynors..my new Grishko 2007s wore out in a week and have been causing an injury. So fed up!

[MsPuntapunta]

Prettifulll...

[krimFollFox]

[Lissbirds]

Your technique is stunning....!

Love the Nutcracker Ca

[2011GNA]

I love gaynor minden pointe shoes!

[babequeen11]

I do have good arches so would they be amazing in gaynors? i so want them!!!!

My right pointe shoe just died, (So annoyed)

[jeffersondreamrider]

my feet are not super arched but in my gaynors i have like an uber amazing arch i love it

[BalletDancerist]

i love itttt!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! your arches!!

[dancing4mysavior]

I got a pair of gaynors last week or so, but during the first ten minutes I went to fix my drawstring and part of it snapped off. So, now they are worthless. I have to go back to Bloch and they die in a month or two because I don't have enough for Russian pointe shoes.....

[omgichatalot]

I WOULD KILL FOR ARCHES LKE URS

[DancerChic183]

@RosemaryyTraitsess do you know how I can get better arches?

[DancerChic183]

@RosemaryyTraitsess do you know how to get better arches?

[RosemaryyTraitsess]

i wish i had super arched feet

[1238ilovetodance]

amazing amazing amazing! A little more plie in your echappes?

[pointeguru18]

I was wondering if gaynors would be a good choice. All my shoes die in just a few monthes and my mommdosent like having to buy them so much. Are they as comfy as everyone says? Do they really last longer too? Im really desperate so anyone please reply!

[dancin4god01]

@pointeguru18 Hey! i went through my grishkos (sp?) in two weeks. my dad said the same thing! haha! yes they are SO comfy. the only thing is your toe nails will bruise easier. they last me about a yr. they last until the tips wear out. i hope you try them

[brownballerina97]

I am very impressed that you are using your AMAZING talents for God :)  Your feet look a lot like mine :)

[IdLie32]

Great Nutcracker music!!!!

[randieloveballet]

those look a little dead

[dancer4660]

very pretty! :))

[dsp200907]

Your feet are absolutely beautiful, your arch is insane. Check out my video sometimee? Thanks!

[RobotBallerina101]

What kind of Gaynor Minden shank do you use? :) Love the video by the way! :)

[sbec85]

Can I have your arches? How are your arches? Do you happen to be flatfooted?

[101dancerdiva]

Beautiful feet!

[s3rvana]

Amazing ankle flexibility...

[Slave2Music96]

YOU GOT SEXY ARCHES

[kaiiiiiitxO]

Love your ballet shoes! Beautiful arch! <3

[SlovakBallerina]

Please tell me if its UR arch natural or if U have trained on it so hard...? (sorry for my english..)

[dancin4god01]

@SlovakBallerina its ok. they are naturally that way. but they come with plenty of issues and injuries.

[chrisclayton1cloe]

I'll check out ur vid and to this vid ur feet look great in those, the shoes look like they fit well, and ur good on pointe. Good control.

[smartballerina]

@madeline1369 They're called Gaynor Mindens, not Gaylords for future reference, but you were close. I wear Gaynor Mindens myself and love them!!! : )

And your feet are beautiful!! Just try not to sickle a bit : ) but lovely arches!! I'm jealous!!

And would anybody like to check out my video of myself in my Gaynors? I don't have as good feet, but I still think I have pretty good feet. It's called "My Pointe Shoes" if you want to check it out. : )

[xiheartzacefron94x]

gorgeous feet! jealous!

[madeline1369]

your gaylords..haha

[trinaballerina100]

you have great feet!

My friend has Gaynors and she has feet like yours. Ones that break shanks in weeks times. The problem with these shoes is that they are to flexible and have proven to great foot problems more than a common old fashion pointe shoe. THey may save money but they can hurt you feet...at least that was my friends experience.

[sofiemarris]

great feet :)

[idanceforGod2]

What level at the Ballet Magnificat summer intensive were you in when you were 14 or 15?

You have awesome feet by the way. :)

[dancin4god01]

@idanceforGod2 when i was 14 i was in 7, 15 i was in 9.

[Ballerina4God1997]

You have beautiful feet! I am going to the Ballet Magnificat intensive this year. How difficult is the placement class? Any advice would be great. Thanks:)

[dancin4god01]

@Ballerina4God1997 its not difficult. just know the combinations and you'll do fine. :)

[esswrig]

What kind of shank did you get? It looks so soft...or maybe you just have some insane arches! :)

[dancin4god01]

@esswrig extra flex i think

[DNCRGRL98]

I love the look and feel of teh Gaynor Mindens when I'm up en pointe!!!! But I was so close to getting them and that was about a year ago when my teacher said I wasn't strong enough for a pre-arched shoe..... :(

[EvanescenceROCKSS]

Gaynors look amazing if you have great arches (which you do!!!) but if you have lower arches i think they look horrible. Can I have your feet!?!?!?!?

[TheHorsefreakforever]

I've been dancing en pointe for about a year and a half, and I hear that they don't have as much support because they are pre broken in, is this true? Do you think I should try them?

[dancin4god01]

@TheHorsefreakforever No its not true. If you have good strong feet and your teacher will let you try them! i LOVE mine

[EnglishRose719]

Gorgeous! There really is nothing more beautiful than a pair of pointe shoes

[xXBalletDancrxX]

OMG! your shoes are so beaultiful! I love Gaynors! I'm starting pointe in about one month! So I need an advice! Should I start with Gaynor? What do you think?

[dancin4god01]

@xXBalletDancrxX i started with traditional shoes, suffered enough pain and traded, :)

[RyanAdamSmalley]

Dance of the Mirlitons!!! :D

[dancin4god01]

@Princesspointeballet good luck! :)

[cchapin129]

you have an AMAZING ARCH!! i heard gaynor mindens are the best to work with...do you like them?

[dancin4god01]

@cchapin129 Thanks :) Yes i LOVE mine. I will NEVER go back to wooden ones.

[sophiarocksyourworld]

@dancin4god01 No pointe shoes are wooden.

[dancin4god01]

@sophiarocksyourworld cardboard, glue, hardness.

[Dancer4LifendAfter]

You definitely have the feet. I personally believe that people with arches like yours do best in Gaynors.

[dancin4god01]

Thanks guys :)

[MissLizzanna]

great feet! i guess that is what i would look like if i could stop sinking in my shoes. are the boxes narrow or wide?

[dancin4god01]

@MissLizzanna i believe their wide

[BalletLoveXOX]

OhmyGOODNESS YOUR ARCHES!!!!!!!!!!!

[EncoreLPYZ]

I'm so incredibly jealous of those feet

[deetothajay1]

how can you possibly manage gaynors with an arch like that lol?! mad props girl!

[dancin4god01]

@deetothajay1 lol they are amazing on my arch. i love them

[officialmermaidmovie]

i so need your feet

[kvicon828]

[casualsharpiee]

I've never really liked Gaynor Mindens... They look amazing on you, though. :D

[trotte04]

[balletdancer2341]

[ToLiveIsToDance15]

[sarahkatsworld]

[dancin4god01]

Thanks!

[RedhairedBallerina]

I WANT YOUR FEET!!!

[dancin4god01]

haha oh trust me, they come with issues. lol

[dancerers12]

@dancin4god01 I have feet like yours too and they are soooo difficult!

[cooperneely]

@dancin4god01 thats why ive heard. My friend has crazy cashews for feet and most point shoes break under them not to mention all the ankle rolling...

[TheDanceJunkie]

how old r u? Ur feet r really strong? Im 10.Ive been enpoitne for about 2 months now. Im still trying to get over my box. and im working on staying on my box. I cant really see ur feet clearly. cause of the leg warmers. But i can tell u have really high arches

[dancin4god01]

in 16. yes my feet r... haha sorry. it was freezing in my studio that day. lol

[blondi3dancer]

i got Gaynor mindens back in may and i absolutely LOVE THEM! they r good for me because i have archy feet and they also help those who don't have archy feet make it look like they do! (: thx for making this video!

[dancin4god01]

i love mine too

[BalletTapJazz]

I love gaynors because they don't break, the satin just wears off sometimes.

[dancin4god01]

yeah, thats when i get new ones

[laurelballerinafly]

very good but try not to sickle

[dancin4god01]

would you please tell me at what point im sickling????

[laurelballerinafly]

at 0:10, and 0:13, not bad though like just a tiny you no? it happens to me too i wear gaynors too i love them :)

[BrendaLi1]

@dancin4god01 yes u do have a tendency to sickle when you push your arches over more...in the beginning, a little, at 0:10 a bit more, and 0:13 the most. Nice arches, though. 

[sm121990]

Beautiful!!!! Love your feet. :) I have Grishko 2007 now and I break them in real fast... I'll have to look into those ;)

[dancin4god01]

CookieBallerina, I have been en pointe for 4 years now

[CookieBallerina]

I <3 your pointe work.How many years r u dancin' en pointe?

[bolshoiboy8]

NICE!!!!

[dancin4god01]

thank you!

[bolshoiboy8]

its amazing that you can make your feet look good in gaynors because gaynors usually make feet look HORRIBLE!

[dancin4god01]

you have to have rly strong feet and amazing arches to make them look good. and i was gifted with them :)

[bolshoiboy8]

yeah... just imagine your feet in GRISHKOS!!! OR FREEDS!!! :) they would look marvelous! :)

[dancin4god01]

funny story, I sarted out with Grishkos and they didnt work for my feet. they would always break to high. Andddddd Freeds. yuck i hate them. i was at the dance store and the lady wanted me to try them on. i told her that i would probably break them. She insisted that they wouldent break so i put them on and went up to releve. SNAP! the right shoe broke right in half. :) lol

[bolshoiboy8]

OMG.. how do you BREAK SHOE FROM JUST TRYING IT ON ONCE?!?!?! HAHAHA THATS CRAZY

[dancin4god01]

i know right! hey accept the friend thing i sent u,

[balletbunhead777]

omg that happened to me!!!!!! i have pretty much the same shoe history as you but i broke blochs in the store too.... yeah i LOVE my gaynors!

[dancin4god01]

lol thats hilarious! lol

[dancin4god01]

yay for garbage bag pants!

[balletdancer923]

Great turnout! I'm still working on turning my feet out while en pointe! I like your legwarmers. =)

[ShanaFlameHaze00]

I love your arches! Nicely done. :)

[dancin4god01]

[Duckweed73]
