Dance Foot and Shoe Accessories for Ballet, Pointe and Dance
Getting a pointe shoe ready for class or performance involves more than just putting it on. Ribbons need sewing, elastic needs fitting, toe pads need selecting for the right foot shape and protection level. For every other dance shoe, the right accessories extend the life of the shoe and protect the foot inside it. Dance Direct stocks a specialist range of foot and shoe accessories for ballet, pointe, jazz and tap from Bloch, Bunheads and our own Dance Direct label.
Pointe Shoe Ribbons, Elastic, Toe Pads and Foot Protection
Pointe shoe ribbons are available in satin and soft cotton styles, cut to length and sewn to secure the shoe at the ankle through class and performance. Pointe shoe elastic holds the heel of the shoe in place and is fitted in addition to or instead of ribbons depending on the dancer's preference and teacher's requirement. Toe pads cushion the toes inside the pointe shoe and come in a range of materials from soft fabric to gel, chosen for the individual foot shape and the duration of the training session. Gel toe caps, toe spacers and bunion guards protect specific pressure points and misalignments that cause discomfort during extended pointe and ballet work. Shoe care accessories including stretch sprays and sole protectors extend the life of pointe shoes and ballet shoes through regular training.
Comfort, Protection and Shoe Fit
The right foot accessories make the difference between a pointe shoe that is comfortable to train in and one that is not. Dance Direct stocks accessories from brands whose products are used by serious students and professional dancers, and our Maroubra team can advise on the right combination for a specific foot and shoe.
