    I remember Natalia Osipova saying in an interview with Sadler Wells that she hates doing her shoes, she said it is the hardest part of her job. She was sitting at home and nearly exploded saying "it's my life, i just sit here and do shoes shoes shoes", and from then on she never does shoes at home. I wonder that's why she sometimes dances in almost dead shoes haha. I can only think it can be so tedious after a hard day of class, if I were a dancer and I "knew a guy" I'd never do it myself lol

    I love seeing how people prep their shoes! There's so much variety out there. I wish I had a darning guy like Suvi, it takes me forever.

      Sometimes I think, WELL I don't need to darn, this pair I'm just going to not ... And then I wear them once and begrudgingly admit I do actually want them darned 😅

    I love it when you do videos together! You ladies made me laugh. Esp the cutting away/Romeo and Juliet. You are adorable, you two!
    The only thing I wish you would’ve shown was the final product of how the shoes look on your feet!

    Gamba pointe shoes!!!!! I loved those, fitted beautifully, my favourite pointes, was so unhappy when they disappeared.

      They still exist, they were bought by Repetto! They’re not quite as lovely as when they were British made but I still wear them 😊

    This was so amusing! When I started ballet (years ago), we all started with Capezio Pavlovas and lambs wool. No choices. Later I moved to Freeds (still my fave and I wore a 6.5 XXX) and I cut off the toe part of a sock and used that as my padding with taped toes (we were cheap and used masking tape)! Always cut the shank. But no jet glue back in the day, so we used Future floor wax to save dead shoes! I love all the new things available to dancers.

    Gamba does still exist, I wear them!! They were bought by Repetto (French brand), you can see them listed on their European website… they’re a little less refined than when they were British made but they still suit my low profile tapered feet well 😊unfortunately you can’t get them sent to the uk from France so I have to order them to my parents’ house in Spain and then bring them all back in my suitcase!! 😂

    I felt so validated when Isabella said she used pas de deux to break in shoes. I've started doing pas de deux classes this year and I found that if I wear too soft shoes, they will die a very quick death. 😆 I also rotate like Suvi, so now I delegate my harder shoes for pas de deux and as they soften I will start using for other classes.

    There were no gel or pouches when I was young, it was lambswool

      I love my lambs wool, many dancers use it. I tried many pouches, etc. I have to feel the floor.

    There is only one brand of elastic insert ribbons that are any good (I've tried them all😅).
    In fact, they are amazing. They are thick and sturdy and the elastic doesn't loosen over time. I highly recommend you try them - Gaynor Minden TLC ribbons 👍

    When I'm sewing and breaking in a new pair of pointe shoes I do the usual stepping on the box (gently) and slightly bending the shank. I also darn my shoes but the way I darn them is a bit different than others. I darn the bottom and one side of the platform (left side for the left shoe and right side for the right shoe). I darn this way to ensure I stay on my box and to prevent sickling. After everything is all sewn and darned I will pancake my shoes to match my skin tone (the pointe shoe brand has them in my skin tone but they are considered custom order).

    I only use a little lambs wool, and tape almost every toe. Problem being, I must change my flats to pointe rapidly also, so I tape toes before class begins, then the sweat makes the tape loosen and sometimes come off😟Any solution?

    • @balletwithisabella
      @balletwithisabella  Месяц назад +2

      You need better tape! I use compeed heel plasters but I cut them up for each toe ( save money ) and they really stick, then I use medical bandage tape which is MUCH better than toe tape. My tape never moved ❤

    As a beginner, I would love to see close-ups of the shoes when you are describing parts of the shoes. The camera work is pretty bad.

    • @balletwithisabella
      @balletwithisabella  Месяц назад +1

      No problem thank you! Noted ❤ I have a beginner pointe course which shows things very close up on my website in case you need more detail 👍

    • @Daintymeow
      @Daintymeow Месяц назад

      @ thanks for the info. I am not sure if it is understood that if you are making a video on a topic like this and describing the details on the shoes, the camera work has to make sense otherwise there is no point watching the video for some people who are new to the topic and want to understand what you are talking about.

    Over darning that makes the toes mushroom shaped is so ugly. Some very famous dancers do it.

      Could you mention some specific names? 🙂 I understand if you don’t want to but I’m curious as to what you mean by mushroom shape.
