Hi everyone, this video is a tutorial on how to 'glue' your pointe shoes. For those of you who are new to pointe, this is a technique you definitely want to know to save you time and money. After some time, your pointe shoes will begin to soften because the sweat from your feet breaks down the glue inside your pointe shoes that keeps them hard. One way to make your pointe shoes last longer is to use a special glue to harden them. You should only do this after you have broken in your new pointe shoes so they are molded perfectly to your feet when you harden them, but do not wait until your pointe shoes are almost dead to glue them. I hope this video is helpful!
