Why do the balls of my feet hurt at ballet?

  • in my pointe shoes, whenever i wear the pro pads. there like toe pads... i get pins and needles on the balls of my feet but i dont know why. does anyone know whats causing it or how to stop it?


  • a few ideas:
    a) try a little less padding. cramming too much into your pointe shoes is never a good idea.
    b) stretch out your calves and tendons (tense legs/muscles lead to tense feet and toes)
    c) do a lot of work on demi-pointe. it might be that your trying to do too much on pointe. the more you work on demi-pointe, the more your feet will adjust to the feeling.
    d) pointe hurts-- as you probably know. good luck!


  • Either not enough cushion in the toe of the shoe (you are adding something right?) or you'll just have to get use to it. Many years ago we used lambswool. I don't know what's available now.
