Im so flad you are making these videos because I couldn't find any actual review videos on these shoes. Also I'm curious as to what your instructor thinks about these shoes.
As a freelance dancer, I will wear these in open class and I’m sure no one will say anything in an open class setting. Now for a particular audition or classical ballet production, I would not wear these no.
@@EurekaBody ah gotcha, I've been interested in these but they don't make them in my size unfortunately. I currently went back to wearing Capezios because I used to wear Freeds but they just didn't last long enough for me and having to buy my own pointe shoes it was getting to be too costly with Freeds. I literally would get a week if that but I can make the Capezios last like 3 weeks sometimes a hair more.
@@mermaidopulence8539 if you come across an opportunity- try Nikolay or Grishko! They hold up better than Freeds too and look lovely on most feet! They were my go tos for a while till I switched to plastic pointes!
@@hobbybugs1286 yes, but having a critical part of your pointe shoe fail while you're dancing could lead to serious injury. Layers of paste and fiber and satin wont randomly rip under tension on you like that.
@@SeabassFishbrainsare you people blind or dumb because IT'S NOT THE SHOE IT'S TAPE. That WASN'T the shoe. She was trying to pull the tape tight as possible to see if it helped and it broke and she didn't have anymore on her. It's seriously NOT that difficult to understand. The shoe DIDN'T break. I'm not a lover of any modern versions of pointe shoes and only like the originals. BUT that doesn't mean I'm going to be dishonest. There's enough to talk about with them already. You don't need to make up fake issues and act like that's a danger. ☠️🤡☠️🤦♀️🙅♀️🤷♀️🤣
I do wonder what the long game is here. I love that they are sturdy, long-lasting and hopefully mitigate injuries. However-if you adjust to wearing them, wouldn’t it be hard to switch to a performance shoe for shows? Do they plan to make a more typically ballet aesthetic one for that purpose?
typically it’s not that hard to readjust between shoes once you’re used to the different brands. most dancers would practice in their show shoes a few times before performance anyway
Yeah, ugly enough that they need to be absolutely rockstar in functionality and longevity to be worth switching. A shame, because I do believe pointe shoes should be easier to customize. Maybe a more traditional, human-made shoe that's more modular and easier to disassemble?
@@kirstenh1087Agreed that they’re ugly but I can’t pinpoint exactly why they look so wrong, or what would make them look better. Is it the sandy off-beige colour? The never-ending vamp length? They look like they accentuate bunions too. A shame since the technology is cool. I will say they look better with the laces on.
Second dancer ive seen just struggling with them. Me..i have too many things that I have to worry about when im dancing..now also my shoes? Ill stay with my capezios.
