new shoes, because many people are not wearing the right size shoes are too small, without the room in the toe area that you need in order for toes to spread comfortably as the body weight shifts onto them.

Don't get nervous about fitting pointe shoes. Make sure that you can demi plie in a small second position without your toes feeling crushed. Make sure that you can press up to demi pointe without the box/vamp area stopping you. Before you get to breaking them in, or sewing the ribbons on, let your ballet teacher check the fit. If you are not completely sure that you are ready, consider getting an expertly written ballet students' manual on new pointe shoes.
