Pointe shoe fittings are by appointment only and conducted on a one on one basis with our highly trained fitters to ensure we find the perfect shoe for each dancer 🩰

Wearing the right pointe shoes can change a dancer’s career and make their pointe work even more enjoyable. We’re thrilled that we get to share this experience with you and hope you enjoy every moment! ✨

Prep 👏
⭐️ Make sure your toe nails are nicely trimmed before arriving for your appointment.
⭐️ If you have any blisters or sore spots, be sure to bandage them up so they don’t add any extra pain!
⭐️ Ask your teacher what pointe accessories they prefer.

What to Bring 👛
If this is your first pair of pointe shoes, you may wish to wear your favourite leotard with convertible tights for photos in ! If you have worn pointe shoes before, bring them along with any toe padding that you use. This will give your fitter insight into how you wear in your pointe shoes and you can talk about what you liked and didn’t like your shoes.

Can I bring my entourage? 👯‍♀️
Absolutely! We have seating available in each of our pointe shoe fitting rooms. In order to give everyone the attention and time they need to find their perfect shoe, we conduct our fittings on a one-on-one basis.
⭐️ PS. We love group fittings, so if you and your dance besties would like to be fit together, give us a call to schedule a Group Fitting!

What do new pointe shoes feel like? 👟
Your pointe shoes are going to feel very different than your street shoes and other dance shoes. While they will be tighter to prevent “sinking”, we don’t want you to feel any unnecessary pain! Make sure to tell your fitter if you feel any pinching, curling of the toes, or numbness.

How long will my pointe shoe fitting take? ⏰
Be patient! The pointe shoe fitting process is trial and error so it’s not uncommon to try on numerous pairs of shoes, which is why we set aside 30 minutes for each of our scheduled appointments. It’s very important to us that you understand what a proper fitting shoe feels like, so our fitters will take the time to help you find your perfect fit.

Heads up dancers, Grishko will no longer be producing the following styles in our collection:

⭐ 3007/Pro/Proflex
⭐ Miracle
⭐ Nova
⭐ Smartpointe
⭐ 2007
⭐ Maya

Any remaining backorders will be filled with whatever stock is available. If a backorder cannot be fulfilled, a member of our team will contact you with this information via email or over the phone.

For the moment, we suggest purchasing the styles you love while they are available. There are many wonderful Grishko/Nikolay retailers across North America that may have your shoe, and we still have a large number of sizes left in-stock both in-store and online at www.theshoeroom.ca.

For local dancers, we strongly suggest booking an in-person fitting at our Toronto boutique. Virtual Fittings are available for dancers who are unable to visit us in-person. Both of these options will allow our experts to help you find a new style during this transitional period.

We know this is not the best news as we head into a busy Nutcracker season, but we are confident we can help you find a perfect new pair!   Please let us know if you have any questions or give us a call at the boutique at 416-964-5100.

So you’ve worn your pointe shoes a few times and are experiencing toe pain. Below, you’ll learn more about how some extra cushioning here and a little bit of padding and protection there might do the trick! 
Foot and Toe Padding ☁️
There are many different types of toe pads available, but dancers need to remember their purpose is to relieve pressure, not to fill up the block of the shoe. For this reason try to avoid padding that is too thick or bulky - some padding is made from foam or silicone gel and doesn’t allow the dancer to feel the floor through their shoes. Instead, we recommend a small amount of lamb’s wool or a slim toe pad made of a very thin layer of fabric-covered gel. Dancers may also use white cotton medical tape and toe caps or toe sleeves to protect individual toes as well.
For dancers with bunions - an enlargement of bone or tissue around the metatarsophalangeal joint at the base of the big toe - or a predisposition to bunions, a gel toe spacer is recommended to keep the toe aligned and straight. For even more protection, dancers may use bunion guards or shields on their big toe. Remember, these accessories only address the symptoms of the bunion and can aid in prevention, but they don’t correct the actual deformity.

Nail Care 💅🏼
- Be sure to trim your toenails regularly, file straight across and do not file into the corners of your nails. - Use a proper filing instrument rather than scissors or clippers. A file allows you to gently and gradually reach desired length. - File your toenails short enough that you are able to press on the end of your toes with your finger and not feel the nails. Be careful not to file them so short that it causes soreness or inflammation.

Skin Care 🫧
- When cleaning your feet, remove only the top layer of hard, callused rough skin. A certain amount of hard skin is necessary to create a protective layer which aids in preventing abrasions and blisters. - Seek professional help to remove excessive callus and corns. - Moisturize regularly. - Soak in Epsom salts to soften skin, relax muscles and reduce swelling. - Keep feet clean and dry to avoid bacteria or fungus.
