Do you have a winter ballet show coming up? If so, make sure you're wearing the right type of pointe shows. An article from Dance Here advises dancers how to fit their pointe shows. An important highlight from the article:
"As with ballet shoes, the sizing for pointe shoes varies by company, and you will need to convert your street-shoe size to find the manufacturer’s sizing.
When sizing your pointe shoes, there should be absolutely no extra room in the shoe. Because getting a perfect fit for pointe shoes is so important, you should not buy your first pair without help from a dance professional. If you get the wrong shoes, not only will you be unable to perform, but you will also put yourself at high risk of injury."
