À propos de ce contenu audio

Inspired by my recent talk at The Dancewear Association of Canada conference, in this episode I summarize some of the common challenges we see in pointe shoe fitting.

I have broken down these challenges into 2 main categories: skin/nail health and structural/biomechanical issues. This episode goes through some of the common causes of these issues, both from a shoe fitting perspective and a physical/anatomical perspective.

I also discuss the importance of a collaborative approach to pointe shoe fitting including the dancer, the shoe fitter, the healthcare provider and the dance teacher.
