Pointe Shoes!! Need some advice :)

Okay soo my feet are pretty much pointe shoe murderers. I've been on pointe for about 8 months and have already gone through 9 pairs of pointe shoes!! I really need to find a super strong and durable box and shank. If you have any suggestions please let me know! The brands of pointe shoes i use are grishkos and russian pointe all in hard shanks. The bloch shoes I bought for a performance as I couldn't order any grishkos or russians in time. Obviously, the entradas russian as shown are really broken and i'm very wobbly from lack of support. The blochs are pretty good, but i've only worn them for less than 10 minutes and their already breaking. Any advice? Thanks so much

Have you ever tried MaSha'? They work great on me!

@dancingboy91 yes! That's what I was thinking too.

I am surprised that no one has said this. Your vamp is too short and that is one reason you are going too far over our box.

You have really pretty feet!! Perhaps the pointe shoe problem has to do with your strength. It seems to me like you're sort of letting the shoe hold you up. Maybe you could strengthen your feet with de-shanked pair (NOT en pointe! just demi-pointe releves!) . Oh and remember to roll up through the balls of your feet. :)

Have you tried Sansha Recitals, they are 35-45 dollars and last a long time for me , make sure you get the correct width(my 1st pair was too narrow, causing me to sickel)
