Lots of girls have been asking me how much padding they should use, and what to use, so I made a little video to show you what I recommend!

  • @themsiheartdance97 Coppelia Swanilda Variation, I think.

  • @ kanoblaster OMG OWOWOW how do u stand not having pads

  • @hello64722 where are your feet burning?

  • @cucumers789456 thats not stupid. it really just depends on the dancer, a ton of professionals dont use any padding-- just toe tape. Too much padding can cause dancers to not feel the floor, and is actually bad and encourages dancers to "sit" in their shoes since they are just resting in their padding. If the shoe fits as it actually should you really dont need a lot of padding and technically you really shoulndt have enough room in your shoe for how tight they should fit.

  • For everyone who says there feet start burning.. I had the same problem. Personally I found it was because I had to much padding or my ouch pouches we too thick. I use to where big tips for my big toe but they just made it feel worse because there was too much. I found it better when i just used the pouches. It also might burn because you might not be able to feel the floor. Which again would mean you have to much padding. There also sell squishy tape which is padded but thin.Hope this helped (:

  • leos purple gels are really a lot more comfortable than ouch pouches. my feet get a bit numb. is that bad?
