Important:

Please do not break in these pointe shoes!! Breaking in the shanks will damage their supportive properties, rendering it unusable.

Pointe Shoes must never be stored in plastic bags.

These shoes should never be washed or handled with steam. 

To keep the box from getting too soft too quickly, let the shoes air dry for a minimum of 24 hours after each use.  For dancers who dance on pointe every day, it is recommended to rotate 2 or 3 pairs of pointe shoes to allow enough drying time between wears.  This will extend the lifetime of the pointe shoes.
