Capezio Aerial

Which are the hardest pair of bloch pointes? or the hardest pointes ever??!!?

I have been using pointes for about 1 year and a half, but a pair of pointes last me like a month or less, my last pair were capezio aerials lasted like a week, and is not like I can afford to buy pointes so very often.

I completely understand what you are going through because I went through it too.I have worn Bloch, Grishko's, and Freed's and the hardest ones I have experienced is by far the Grishko's. Here are some tricks of the trade: To prolong the life of your pointe shoes, you should buy your shoes in strong shank, which most companies offer. Also there is something called Jet Glue which loads and loads of dancers use to prolong the life of there pointe shoes. Jet Glue makes the shoes hard again making them last longer so you don't have to buy new ones so often. Also when you break in your pointe shoes do not bend them or mold them to your feet let them break in naturally during class. Because you aren't forcing the shoe to bend causing the glue to separate the shoe will last a little bit longer. I would first recommend seeing if there is a hard shank in the shoes you are currently wearing (if you like them, there's no point in switching shoes just to make them harder), then I would buy some Jet Glue which you can buy online through many dancer retailers like Discount Dance, www.discountdance.com (under Accessories and then pointe shoe accessories). If none of these things work, then it is most likely your feet have gotten stronger and you do need new pointe shoes that would be harder and different in shape. I would also recommend talking to your dance teacher they are a great resource, and your peers that dance. Another thing find a dancer retail store that has a LARGE selection you may need to drive a ways depending on where you live, but it's worth it! You'd be surprised how often we all have the same issue in the dance world.
