There are so many non dancers, but Imam here because I am a dancer but I think I it is cool that non dancers found this interesting. 💛
I find ballet REALLY interesting, that I'm starting to want a Pointe shoe 😊
Anyone else love when she took the supplies out and they were aligned!!!
Why in hell am I watching this I can't even do the Macarena let alone ballet
X2
Idk how but I went from watching stranger things to this
Omg Samenesssss
Abbey Alves I was watching a bunny getting a bath xD
Abbey Alves SAMEE
SAAAAME
Saammmeeee tho
I wish I had known about these when I still did ballet!! These seem like a great invention.
why do I watch this? it's really interesting but I'm not a ballerina, but I dance showdance... but cool stuff!
Gwendolyn Sheperd same but I'm a modern and hip-hop dancer
cool! showdance is actually a mix between ballet and hip-hop.
I love it. same as me I am not a ballerina. if you love it comments for me
and it is int
its interesting
I hope all bellerina kids should buy this, I am so hurt to see their swelling foot
Affan Edukidtoy
BALLERINA!! and btw no kids are ballerinas, a ballerina is actually only a principal dancer in a ballet company. and also our feet "swell" (we get blisters and stuff) with this stuff. YOURE PUTTING ALL YOUR BODY WEIGHT ON YOUR TOES. get your facts right before you comment.
Amanda Rose why did you have to be so rude in that comment. It's not like that stuff is common knowledge. Plus she commented a year ago. It's not that big of a deal.
Amanda Rose Jeez she is just a kid calm down
Mandi technically your weight is on your ankles and the shoe suspends your toes
why am i waching this? i'm not a dancer
silly bear only you have the answer
silly bear same I've just always wanted to dance so I watch these videos all the time
silly bear same lol. i danced when I was younger but i never danced on point
I’ve never been a dancer but for some reason I’m fascinated by pointe shoes- fitting, breaking in, whatever. I’ve always loved watching ballet, so it’s interesting to know some behind-the-scenes stuff.
Lol same but I have a passion for it so I do anyway
This would work great for everyday folks who are using toe spacers for their hammer toe. Great idea! Say goodbye to toe pain.
I did dance for 4 years, then switched to karate I am close to black belt, when I achieve that goal I’m switching back to achieve my dream on point!
I have the 3. black belt in Taekwondo and switched to ballet
I've always been a little curios, of what it feels and looks like to dance in those shoes while being on your tiptoes! I think it's pretty cool what people can come up with, especially with things that help to make it feel a bit better with the support and cushion of these molded inserts!
I used to dance when I was little but I was hopeless at it... and my teacher sucked! 😂 soo I honestly have no idea why I have spent the past two or three days watching pointe shoe videos... BUT I HAVE GOT TO BUY A PAIR! 😍
Danny Tonnessen DONT....
#Ana Silva Yes, I think the PerfectFit inserts could definitely help your problem! That's essentially what they are designed to do -- make the the shoe fit your foot perfectly, and provide more even weight distribution over all your toes. They will fill up whatever space is under your shorter toes! @Llama Llove
I'd love to try these but 40 Dollars Shipping is more than my wallet can handle (right now) :/
theres no way you could feel the floor or use your toes with these things. don't waste your money
Two part silicone putty should be cheaper at a harware store or online.
Where was this 40 years ago when I was taking pointe?
Homesteadmommy62 I was thinking the same thing... lamb's wool is all we had.
Even 15 years ago!!! This is amazing!!!
WORD!!
Damn Straight!
this is such a great invention for ballerinas!
EvE Lovedancing wonder if it will prevent ugly feet in the long run! Such a beautiful art to get such sad looking feet after years of dancing!
Man, I wish we had these things when I was dancing! No wonder dancers can dance en pointe for 8 hours a day! Can't do that with just lambs wool!
Adoro este video, su información es muy importante para que las chicas que practican ballet no se lastimen sus hermosos pies!.
I have pointe shoes and i dont have toe pads and i see this tomorrow im going to do this thanks for posting thank you 😊 have a good day
I am new on pointe and I will think about doing thing for future pairs
Is it just me but before pointe legit pointe shoes look so cool, despite that everyone says there extremely painful and the when your on pointe you look back and think "man, those strerch shoes (or Whatever there called) are so cool!
Welcome to another episode of "why the hell is this in my recommended at 12am"
Why am I watching this I don't even do ballet
Scroll12345678 Gerard Way 😍
I'm sad these don't ship to my country (Netherlands) :(
Hi Laura! Yes, we can ship to the Netherlands! Send an email with a request to info@perfectfitpointe.com, and we can configure it as an option during checkout! :)
PerfectFit Pointe Thank you for your help!
I would love some pro or pro teachers to comment on this please do blessing or curse , how does giselle feele the floor , just a comment feel free to complain.
#PerfectFit Pointe Hi. I am having a fairly bad problem with my point shoes. The problem is that my big toe is much longer than my other toes. Causing the big toe being the only toe at the end of the point shoe.Do you think this product would fix my problem? @PerfectFit Pointe
Yes, the PerfectFit Inserts would be ideal for this problem! They're designed to more evenly distribute weight across all your toes by filling in the voids in the shoe box.
And I love that song!! Citizen Cope 😍
Where were these when i was in pointe as a teen
I ordered these a few days ago and I'm so excited to try them!!
has it come in yet?
Hello, I was wondering if you receive your molds and how did it work out for you?
Evelyn, you can also read some testimonials on our website if you want to learn about how they've helped many dancers: perfectfitpointe.com/testimonials/
+PerfectFit Pointe actually I was wondering if this would be good for a 10 year old?
Evelyn Grey should you even be on pointe at 10 years old?
what if you switch shoe brands and the box is different?
Fandom Geek If it were me, I'd keep the ones I already have, in case I switch back. Then I'd make another set.
Iwould assume you'd have to re do it as your feet would sit differently
THEN DEATH
This is helpful as I am getting my first pair of pointe shoes
Ok, one more question. Would these alter the way the shoes cast to your feet as you break them in vs using gel insert such as an ouch pouch?
Your pointe shoes will still break in as normal! And because the inserts are flexible, they will be able to flex as the shoe breaks in (i.e., the crown flattens). While a pointe shoe will really only mold to your foot where the box is quite thin (higher up the vamp and around the wings), the inserts will mold to your foot from your metatarsals down to your toes.
3:45 this video just became an Instagram slime video
wow it help me so good yah I'l be the best there and when I do this i dosent hurt my ankles and my toes it is so helpful thx
Who watches this but doesn’t dance
I'm a dancer and dentist. Too. That material we called modelina. Is for taking impression
Why is this so fascinating to watch? I don't even dance.. like at all
This just reminded me I need new toe pads 😂
This makes a lot of sense.
Curious to know if these would fit mainstream heels. My foot is tiny and my heels are usually 1 size too large. Filling in the toe box without jamming my toes sounds like the perfect solution.
Try layering lambswool (found in drug stores) with a wedge makeup sponge or two in each shoe's toebox (sandwich style with sponge in the middle). The lambswool will mold to your toes. Use that along with shoe insoles to fill up the space. Also, wearing Mary Jane shoes will help you stay in the shoe. Hope this helps.
Perfect video! Thanks!
These look great, can you use the same one in new point shoes if they are the same, or would I need to do new impressions for every new pair of shoes?
Yes, you can definitely continue to wear the PerfectFit inserts in multiple pairs of shoes, as long as the size/style are the same. If you change shoe size or style, it's probably best to remold. You can find more answers to questions like this one at: perfectfitpointe.com/faqs/
Spagettii Angel
I am no ballet dancer, but I would imagine a remould would only be nessecary with a change of brand or size.
These seem to be marketed at dancers who already know their point shoes and what they like pretty well.
What if you were fitted with a big toe gel sleeve? What do I do with that?
I purchased this kit but haven’t completed the molding process yet. I was wondering if you needed to put starch on the inside of the inserts like gel pads or if you could just use them over and over.
You shouldn't need to powder your finished inserts -- after you mold them, they'll be good to go, and you can wear them again and again!
PerfectFit Pointe That’s very helpful. Thanks!
so the toe spacer stays inside the mold forever?
Yes, the spacer stays integrated in your molded PerfectFit inserts for as long as you're wearing them. At the time you decide to retire your pair of inserts, you may remove the spacer from the insert by making a slit in the purple spacer sleeve if you would like to reuse them in your next pair.

no you dummy
Amanda Rose you're just being rude for no reason to a lot of people. If you actually read the comment the actual poster made then you would know that the spaces do stay in place unless they are cut out.
BalletMisfit Y
I have two questions. Will this help prevent compressed toenails? And what do I do if I still feel pain at my pressure points?
Have you been able to experiment with different styles of pointe shoes, as well? A well-fitted shoe can go a long way in reducing pressure points, and the better fit you start with in the pointe shoe itself, the better.
Yes, the PerfectFit inserts are designed to basically adapt your foot to fit whatever shoe you’re wearing, and because the putty flows under your shorter toes, it evens out weight distribution and greatly reduces the chance of bruised toenails on your longest toe. This will greatly help in reducing pressure points, but if you still feel pain on the tip of your longest toe, you could try putting a thin gel layer in the platform of the shoe (like a cut-up piece of an Ouch Pouch, or something similar).
PerfectFit Pointe are point shoes expensive
AGdoll Lover depends on the brand. they usually range from $50-100+. if you havent been cleared to go en pointe by a professional, dont buy them as you could break bones.
how tf am i here i am not even a ballerina😂
youtube be like "Oh hey you watched a video about X? how about a video about THIS TOTALLY UNRELATED THING!!!"
This is really good
I have the same ones there great
*I'm back to the strange section of RUclips.... Again...*
This is amazing! So does that mean you don't have to wear any lambs wool or things like that if you have these?
Correct! These inserts replace other padding you might wear in your pointe shoe. You can mold spacers directly into them, so it's all one integrated piece... a lot faster to put on than a multi-step system! :)
+PerfectFit Pointe thank you for responding!
Hi Perfectfit Pointe! I had a question about your inserts. Would it be okay if I did the molding process on a pair of pointe shoes that I have been wearing for a month now? Would it make a difference?
Hi Cally! Yes, that should be totally fine to mold the inserts in one-month-old pointe shoes. Unless they are already super soft and broken in, that should work out great.
Cally Hafner هنيالك😔
Would you recommend this product for first time pointers?
Awesome product. And your model for them is great too.
😭😭😭 I got these and my big toe had no putty at the end and my toes were in pain the entire pointe class so I had to go back to normal jelly pads, I know they wont have much there but there was none and it hurt my feet more tjen helped
I kinda want to try this with my pointe shoes but at the same time idk if imma like it......just don't want to spend money if I don't have to
This is amazing I want to try it so bad
Is that residual blue clay supposed to show sticking out?
Someone didn't pay attention
It just seems weird, you toes move and that gell foam thing looks like it consumes youe toes whole, they cant move freely.
When you articulate your foot and toes as the material sets, it spreads and moves the material. That way, it doesn't feel like a cast of your toes, but a flexible blend of positions that feels comfortable whether on demi, on pointe, or anywhere in between :)
How hard is the piece once is dry?
VERY HELPFUL, Thanx!
I have really wide tapered toes with the big toe being the longest. I just ordered these because I’m fed up with the amount of pain I get at the outer corner of my big toe where the nail ends. It usually stings so bad that it feels like I’m either get poke with a needle or dancing on knifes. The pain is the same as stubbing my toe accept it doesn’t go away because I have to stay up en pointe and roll through. My question is since I get so much pain in that area would I mold the insert the same way that someone with a long second toe would?
Do you have to do one foot then the other or can you do them both at the same time??
We highly recommend that you do one foot at a time because of the importance of timing. When you mold them one at a time, you have more control and focus over the result, and the moldable material will be nice and fluid when you first put it on your foot so it can flow where it needs to go and escape when needed. You only have to do the molding process once, though, and then you'll be set! :)
PerfectFit Pointe Okay thank you!! :)
Hey probably a really dumb question but are the inserts soft and squeezable or completely hard?
Good question! I'd say they're a little bit in between... they are definitely firm, not super soft and jelly-like, since their main function is to act as a fitting solution, not as padding. That's how they provide support and make the shoe responsive to your foot. That said, although they are firm, they are definitely flexible... more like the consistency of a rubber ball. Hope that helps!
PerfectFit Pointe Ok, thank you very much :)
Would these only fit the pair of point shoes you mold it with or multiple pairs?
The inserts provide a highly customized fit inside the pair of pointe shoes they're molded in. Typically we would recommend molding a new pair for a new size or style of shoe unless they are quite similar to the ones the inserts were molded in. You can definitely transfer them from pair to pair of shoes in a consistent size/style!
This dancer has bunions! Surgery may be necessary. It's 8 wk healing.
I had to mute the sound. The background music, consisting of the same 4 bars, repeated for 12 1/2 minutes, is like the Chinese Water Torture.
Completely agree
If I where these gel caps that go over my big toe, do I just where them and put the mold directly over it? I am very interested in these!
The PerfectFit inserts should negate the need to wear gel toe caps over your big toe, but technically you can mold any non-porous gel accessories into the inserts, and they will pop in/out. Hope this helps!
I need these though I still am not able to go on pointe I have to wait a year as I am still very young
I would try these but I kind of don’t want to be relying on them to dance in pointe shoes in a way I want stronger more tough feet
Amazing! As an adult dancer re-starting pointe, I found myself buying new shoes every 3 months. I bought GMs and love them (1yr 1 pair anniversary in June, ha), but now find myself eating through toe tips (like monthly now). Could this is be the answer!? I don't need a toe spacer but was fitted with Bunheads The Big Tip; would I have to wear that with the mold?
+nevroth Congrats on re-starting pointe as an adult! The PerfectFit inserts should eliminate the need for all other padding accessories in the shoe (minus spacers, which can be molded into the inserts as desired/needed). They were designed to naturally and proactively provide support under your longest toe by filling space underneath your shorter toes. So yes, no more Big Tips!
Hi. I am having a fairly bad problem with my point shoes. The problem is that my big toe is much longer than my other toes. Causing the big toe being the only toe at the end of the point shoe.Do you think this product would fix my problem?
It might sweetie. I would give it a try!
Yes, I think the PerfectFit inserts could definitely help your problem! That's essentially what they are designed to do -- make the the shoe fit your foot perfectly, and provide more even weight distribution over all your toes. They will fill up whatever space is under your shorter toes!
PerfectFit Pointe a
I got the same problem
+PerfectFit Pointe, I was just wondering, did you need to remold another insert every time i buy a new pair of pointe shoes ? and because i need toe spaces, do i need to buy new spaces every time i have new molded inserts or can my spaces come out of the mold ? Thank you
+Keisha Lau You don't need to remold the inserts every time you buy a new pair of pointe shoes, so long as the size/style/make of your shoe is the same (or quite similar). The success of the design comes from the fact that the insert molds precisely to the shape/position of the foot inside the shoe, and both of those factors would change if you switched to a different shoe size/style. But the inserts are definitely removable, so you can transfer them to a new pair when your old shoes wear out! :) The spacers become permanently encased in the insert once molded, but it would technically be possible to slit the little purple fabric sleeve and pull them out. The turquoise moldable material doesn't adhere to silicon, only porous materials like the fabric. Hope this helps!

I love dancing
i loved the music
Theoretically, would this work for climbing shoes?
I guess... might feel weird tho idk
I would assume so, but it may take away your ability to feel the rock
Ich würde das nicht machen. Du wirst die Flexibilität deines vorderfußes komplett einbüßen. Und die Ausübung von Druck an sehr kleinen bouldersteinen etc. wäre meiner Meinung nach fast unmöglich :/
Thanks I really needed that
I learned something new today. And I'm not even a ballerina
Easy enough to make with soft silicone dental putty
Ugh. I neeeed these, but I haven’t found “my” shoe just yet :(
Same!
Great idea! One tiny question: how long do they last?
They are quite durable! It depends on how much you're dancing of course, but we've had professionals wear a single pair for a full season (5-6 months) of fulltime wear, everyday, almost every day!
I thought she would make a silicone foot sculpture for display. I'm waiting for her to pour silicone liquid
Can you still use these if you are not professional?
Yes, definitely! They are great for dancers of all levels :)
Hello! I have a significantly longer second toe and I typically have to put a gel cushion under my big toe to keep my second toe from bending up and bruising. Would I put this into the toe pads like with the spacers in the video? I'm worried that without it my toes would curl up and ruin the toe pad. Thank you so much!
You have a couple options here... you could certainly mold in the gel cushion you currently use under your big toe! Another option would be to delay going on to full weight-bearing pointe for the first few minutes... see the question about how to mold the inserts with longer 2nd toes in our FAQ section! :) perfectfitpointe.com/faqs/ (scroll about halfway down the page)
What happens when your feet grow or you get a new pair of shoes?
The inserts are certainly transferrable from one pair of pointe shoes to the next, but if you dramatically change shoe brands or styles (ex: from a more tapered shoe to a more square shoe) then we definitely recommend molding a new pair. Similarly, as your feet grow, the same inserts should work for awhile, but eventually you'll want to re-mold. Once you get a new pair of shoes, we'd recommend trying your existing pair of PerfectFit inserts in there and see how they feel. If they're sitting a bit funny, probably a sign to make a new pair, but they might still feel great :) Hope that helps!
+PerfectFit Pointe Ok thanks!!
Can you do combinations while the material is drying?
Im getting my Shoes tomorow
Amazing stuff! But how are you supposed to wear your tights while using these inserts?
You wear the inserts directly against your skin, and your tights over your inserts :) (That's where convertible tights come in handy!)
@@PerfectFitPointe ooo right I didnt realise! I normally wear my toe pads outside of tights. Thanks:)
Very dumb question....if these are molded to your toes....how does the dancer go about wearing her tights in the shoes? The tights don't fit around the toes like gloves on fingers....does she have to adapt her tights to accommodate the mold? Like I said - dumb question. But my curiosity got the best of me :)
Do you mean like put the tights on then make the mould? A lot of dancers tend to put their toe pads on and then put their tights on (most have a hole on the sole so you can pull the tip on and off your foot) the day put their foot in the shoe. I hope this makes sense
+choirkitty No such thing as a dumb question! :) Yes, you're right, since the inserts are molded precisely to the contours of your toes, you wear your tights over the inserts. In general, it's fairly common for dancers to wear their tights over their toe pad, as it helps to hold it them in place, and is easy enough to do with convertible tights.
Thank you now that makes sense!!! Lol!!!! For as many ballet videos I watch and how much I like ballet you'd think I would have known that! :)
+Passion Pie You mold the inserts with bare feet (no tights) so they contour exactly to your toes. Once they are set, you can put them on your foot and then fold your tights over the top as normal for class.
per la spedizione in Italia il prezzo è più del doppio 😟
valeria korobeinikova e si questo e fatto cosi e pensa che io vivo in ungheria 😅😅 qua e anche il triplo
Infatti...
Can this be used for shoes that are too large, not pointe shoes, but regular shoes.
why am i watching this i don't dance but i want to wear the pointe shoes
I need this so bad for dance
Thankyou so much
one more question if you use the same brand and style of pointe shoes each time would you have to replace the pads for each pair
Nope, you can keep reusing the same pair of inserts if your pointe shoe size and style are consistent! :)
Soo you need the pointe shoes to make the toe pads but you need the toe pads to size the shoes??
No, your inserts will adapt to fill the space in your shoe, so you don't need molded inserts to size your shoe. We recommend that you get your pointe shoes fitted while wearing a thin gel pad or sock (or nothing at all), and then once you have your ribbons and elastic sewn on, mold your inserts. :)
It's be lovely if you guys could credit the song used. It's literally just Let the Drummer Kick minus the vocals.
For those of us who currently have no padding in our shoes would PerfectFit Pointe work or would a refitting with padding be necessary?
You would not need to refit your shoes (assuming you're happy with the current fit of your shoes). The molding material would adapt to fit the available spaces in your shoe. We would recommend using probably only 1/2 of the jars of provided silicone material since the volume of your inserts will be much less than a dancer already wearing a toe pad in your shoe. Feel free to email us at info@perfectfitpointe.com if you have any more questions!
I need this.
Wooowww thankkkssss so amazinggg
Do you have to wear toe pads over the inserts?
Nope, the PerfectFit inserts replace a toe pad! :)
PerfectFit Pointe Thank you, when I was on the site I readed that it's not another way to pad the foot, so I was wondering 😊.
what happens if you change the pointe shoe brand and the box shape changes, because not only does it mould to your feet but also the box shape?
Would it still work the same?
Great question! Yes, we recommend re-molding a new set of inserts if your shoe brand or size changes significantly since they are fitted precisely to your foot inside a certain shoe. So we advise waiting to mold your inserts if you're experimenting with many different pointe shoes!
Oh. That makes sense... Thank you
This was interesting but the piano in the background was annoying af.
