Huge Ballet Haul!!!

Ok, so I recently went to the local ballet store, and spent 2 hours getting a pointe shoe fitting, and going ballet shopping, so here's what I got! (pictures are from the Internet, not taken by me):

Grishko's Miracle Pointe shoes $110. These are super comfy, as they have a new thin layer off padding, preventing from blistered feet from getting worse. They have a super nice shape that goes slightly outwards at the bunion portion of your foot, and they have a sturdy, hard box. Overall they are a comfort pointe shoe, that I would recommend for anyone :) They are the newest model of Grishko's pointe shoe, so that explains the price...but they're totally worth it! ;)



Russian Pointe Polette/Almaz? (Around $82-84)Not sure...sorry :-/Anyways, I got two russian pointes. The ones I got are super hard! I think russian pointe's generally are...They are very narrow at the toes, so they kinda pinch your toes together, so I would recommend wearing spacers with them, and the v-shaped ones have no drawstring...

Bloch woman's tights (srry dunno the price...):

Spacer pack by Bunheads: I need them for my big toe! Especially with the russian pointes :p

Bunhead's Jr. Ouch Pouches: Super comfy, the best padding I've had.

Bunhead's Jet Glue: They recently started selling this, you put it in the box of your toe shoes to make them last longer :)


Bunhead's Stitch Kit: Great for doing up your ribbons and elastics quickly! :)

Bloch's ProFlex leather ballet slippers:
