IJONDA Adult Ballet Pointe Shoes for Girls Women with Toe Pads and Mesh Bag

Full disclaimer: I am an EX dancer who never formally went en pointe in my youth. I bought these for a photo shoot and knew I'd need to train pointe enough to have a successful shoot, so I was hoping for my purposes that they were functional enough. I do not know how they would work for an advanced/pre-professional/professional dancer.I worked in them (at the bar only, and as an extremely strong person) for a few months for the shoot and honestly, I loved them so much! They felt secure to work in and the toe padding and bag were super nice to have (I would have been in big trouble without those pads). Size matched the smaller end of my street shoe size range pretty well (bought a 9; street I'm 9-10), and I didn't have any issues with blistering at all. I was also super excited to find that I could use Pointe Paint to change the color very easily (it took 2 bottles for the color I needed to be PERFECT, but that was for high-def photos, not stage work from a distance).If I ever get around to getting back to formal ballet classes, I know I'll need a formal pointe fitting... but I'm old enough and cranky enough that I might bring these and see what the fitter says. I felt GOOD in these, and the price is unbeatable for the quality from what I've seen!

Satisfecha

Awesome pointe shoes for the price

A beautiful shoe!

The media could not be loaded.  My ballet shoes size 4 with socks to dance

couldn’t break in shoes at all. the silicone it comes with is comfortable. good for the price but not for professional use.

Bought for my 10 year old daughter to practice en point and for her ballet class pictures. We’ve only had them a week but she’s worn them everyday and so far so good they’re holding up. I will change this review should the condition of the shoes deteriorate rapidly. But otherwise my daughter LOVES THEM!!!!

Overall good for at home practice every so often. Cheaply made... The pointe on the very bottom is not even. I tried dancing on the kitchen floor and I could feel they were very unefen could barely stand up and balance but manageable if you have good balance. They are very stiff but if you slightly bend them. You don't want to snap them you want to break them in with your foot mostly right where your foot bends on pointe to stand up straight and balance. Really feel where your foot bends right before you dance. They were also a little small forwards my toes but it was to be expected sometimes you miscalculate the size of you aren't taking exact measurements. I bought these for at home use only and I think they are overall good quality but you could give better padding for our toes because it is very hard kind of feels like you are walking on bare wood after the padding wears out after the first use.

Very pleased with these pointe ballet shoes.Worth the money paid. Top quality item.Will definitely purchase from them again

Nice ballet shoes but not very comfortable. But good value on what I paid .

HORRIBLE IT FELT LKE CCEMENT AND IT WAS TOO SMALL

Xmas gift

First of all: it‘s a very low-price pointe shoe, so you can‘t expect, that it‘s as good as a professional pointe shoe. But I wanted to try it out and it turned out okay. Of course, like every other pointe shoe, it hurts a lot. But it didn‘t hurt like the professional ones, it hurts soo much more. Also, the shoe is very hard and uncrackable. It‘s absolutely not flexible. Your ankle has to be very, very strong to do ballet orderly in those shoes.Fact: you want to try out, how it feels to go on pointe? Take these! For people who just need it once, to take a photo, or anything like that: Take it! But for people who need it to dance for real, please don‘t choose these ones. Nothing from Amazon! Buy it from „Bloch“, for example. They are more expensive, but they are soo much better. Trust me. Stay away from things like that.
