Wow..the cracking sound is not really that loud.

@GiselleDance12 I'm the exact same way :) my first pair didn't hurt a bit! my second pair though hurt a little, but thats because my teacher changed my padding so I can feel the floor more!

[GiselleDance12]

@lemon4girl no, it isn't bad. Maybe you are lucky person :) My points usually don't hurt me too

[MsNadineDancer]

I want your feet too. Strong & beautiful

[lemon4girl]

@mashedpotatoes97 Thanks so much that did help!

@ipointe808 Hey!! The shoe that is best for you depends entirely on what type of foot you have. So the best shoe for you will probably be different than the best shoe for your friends. The best pointe shoes for you depend on the how wide your foot is, how long your toes are, how high your arch is etc... I have tried freeds, and they did not work at all for my feet. I would highly recommend setting up a pointe shoe fitting to see which shoe is best for you. Hope that helped!!
