Gluing and breaking in pointe shoes

Here I show you how I glue my dead pointe shoes to give them a little bit more life.  Because this method only gives shoes about 4 hours more wear time, when I glue my shoes, I usually start breaking in a new pair as well.

Remember that the methods I use are more appropriate for advanced dancers who have had many pairs of pointe shoes in the past and know exactly how to break them in for their feet.  If you are pointe beginner, always talk to your teacher before you do anything to break in your shoes.
