TOE CAPS for pointe shoes: Dr. Alan S. Woodle DPM's invented Toe Caps solve the problem. These are different from pointe shoe padding. Not for all feet. Just those in need. To have Toe Caps made, bring your pointe shoes & your feet to Greenwood Foot & Ankle Center, Seattle WA. By Appointment Only: (206) 784-3144

"Whilst ballet shoes have been described as athletic shoes made from paper and paste there remains remarkably few serious injuries found in the feet of the modern ballerinas. In an attempt to explain this phenomena the author attempts to describe the history of pointe dancing and pointe shoes."
