Preparing for Your Fitting

Being properly prepared for your pointe shoe fitting helps our fitters find the perfect shoes for you quickly and comfortably. Arriving ready ensures we can make the most of your appointment time and achieve the best possible fit for your feet and technique.

Please take a moment to check the following before your appointment:

Toenails: Make sure your toenails are neatly trimmed.

Tights: Wear freshly-laundered ballet tights – ideally convertible style.

Clothing: Choose clothing that allows your fitter to see clearly from your knees to your ankles – no long skirts or baggy trousers, please.

Previous Shoes: If you’ve had pointe shoes before, bring them along, together with any padding, toe spacers, or accessories you’d like to re-use.

Finally, please arrive on time for your appointment. We’re often fully booked, and unfortunately, we may not be able to make up for any lost time if you arrive late.
