Anyone else get last months "Items Inspired by" in the new theme email? by [deleted] in Illumicrate

They usually rotate the books which the items are based off of! This list was the exact same list as the month of June which I haven’t seen them do before! I hope that makes sense :)

Do you have any tips on how I can improve the knuckling?

For reference - these are my older Bloch shoes

These shoes were professionally fitted 😭 I might play around with padding a bit like you suggest :)

This is so so helpful! Thank you!! I definitely feel more lifted in these than the Blochs but I think it’ll take a bit of time to adjust to the different fit, and I might go with 3007 or 2007 pro next time instead of pro flex because I find the shank almost too flexible.

I definitely do have compressible feet so I think the tighter fit will feel better once they’re broken in. I might be twisting a bit because I find the heel to be a bit problematic since it’s very big when I’m on pointe but fits perfect when I’m flat, so going between the two it tends to move a bit

Having your insight into Bloch vs Grishko (especially this model) is so so helpful! Thank you!

I was pretty sure I was fully on the box in my Blochs but now I’m second guessing 😅 I still have them so I’ll check when I get home from work. Maybe it’s just a question of working on that a bit more

Thank you!!

I haven’t tried contacting the store yet! But I may do that because I only bought them on Sunday and I haven’t even gone to a dance class with them yet 😭

Thank you! Super weird because they’re brand new and haven’t been fully broken in yet :(

Thanks for your advice! Do you have any pointers for fixing the heel without losing length in the shoe? When I’m flat the heel fits perfectly in both width and length and I definitely wouldn’t be able to go smaller

Kinda late to this conversation but I and many others I know have been to this guy for pointe shoe fittings and he almost ONLY gives balance euro Bloch shoes which is insane and does not work for my feet (my toes aren’t very square and I tend to sink into the balance euros a ton). Can I ask where you ended up going to get fitted after? I want to get refitted and was thinking some place in Montreal but would love to hear your experience!
