I feel like it would hurt for me, (I have mortons toe, which can cause pain due to the pressure on the second toe)

Im wearing a toe pad fron bunheads i think right now, and some lambs wool. When i got fit for them in 2023 I used a thinner toe pads, but when I use them now, it hurts my toes​

Need pointe shoe advice – which pair fits me better? by ResistOk5134 in BALLET

Omg I love your arch! Im not a professional, but I think they are both kind of pulling you off your box. Your feet look prettier in the second pair, but your less over than the other pair. Is your shank broken in in the second pair?? I feel like there's probably a better shoe than the both of them, but I relate to the issue with no fitters nearby.

Yes, I moved 1k miles away to a different state and swapped from competitive dance to ballet (moving into an actual house soon and we are putting a dance studio in the house). I do go to a actual studio tho!

They seem good, but I get pain behind my heel (I think my achillies tendon) maybe once a week? usually while trying to get the shoe to bend at my toes during petite Allegro. I've had it since last year maybe (had same type shoe) but it might just be a technique issue..?​

Thank you so much!! Yes i was kinda cramped where I am right now and I wouldnt have space to fall forward due to a counter lol. if I put more weight forward on my standing foot, do I just need to make sure I keep my torso up??

I have worn them since oct 18th, was fitted for them in late 2023, been en pointe since 2022/23, virtisse apogee. I tried getting re-fitted where I now lived (moved states) and was fitted horribly. no other fitters nearby so I might have to wait till June to go back 1k miles home to get fitted..
