THINGS TO REMEMBER
1. CALL AHEAD
We require an appointment for all pointe shoe fittings. If you come in without making an appointment we may or may not be available to fit you. Calling ahead will ensure your trip is not a wast of time.
2. AMPLE TIME
Please allow ample time for a fitting. A fitting may take 1 to 1.5 hours.
3. PREPARE YOUR FEET
To avoid bruised toenails and allow for a proper and comfortable fit, your toenails should be clipped before you come. When you press on the end of the big toe, you should not feel the nail, only the skin.
4. WHAT TO BRING
Always bring in your last pair of pointe shoes or the ones you are currently wearing, including all pads, spacers, etc. This cuts down drastically on the time it takes to fit another pair and helps to ensure a proper fit.
5. WHAT TO WEAR
Please don't wear tight jeans or other restricting clothing. Wear something comfortable you can do a 2nd position plie in and roll up to mid calf. Wearing convertible/transitional tights are very helpful during a fitting.
6. TEACHER CHECK
Always have your teacher check your new pointe shoes BEFORE you sew your ribbons and elastics on. You may return a pair (with receipt) that have not been worn or sewn. If your teacher does not like them for any reason, have your teacher write down what was wrong, bring the receipt and the paperwork, and we will refit for a new pair.
