Ballet shoes
The ballet dancers wear shoes that are similar to ordinary soft-soled shoes. Only the front part of the cloth is glued and solidified by a special glue to form a hard and hard head, and there is a small plane at the front end (a few also have wood and metal); There is a rubber shoe in the sole, and a leather ballerina outside the soul can stand up with the help of the shoe and fix the center of gravity with the facet of the toe.
Standing up toes to dance is the most striking feature of ballet differentiation and other dances. When it comes to ballet, the first thing people think of is dancing on the toes. People who don't know will feel very strange. How do ballerinas dance on the toes? Maybe I tried to sneak up on my toes at home, but I couldn’t stand up. In fact, without the help of point-toe shoes, it’s not so easy to Stand up on tiptoes.
The toe shoes are different from the ordinary soft-soled shoes. The front part of the shoes is glued and layered by a special glue to form a hard and hard head, and has a small plane at the front end; There is a rubber shoe in the sole, and a leather ballerina outside the soul is supported by the help of the shoe, and the center of gravity of the toe is fixed.
How to buy
1) Stand one by one so that the feet are completely flat and observe the approximate shape, width, and length of the foot to determine the appropriate model. Put on the toe cover (will be used when dancing). The toe cover changes the shape of the foot, which affects comfort. Usually, choose toe shoes smaller than the 1-2 shoes that are usually worn. Gently rub the toe portion with both hands to make it softer.
2) Put on the shoes, gently pull the tie and make a loose knot. First, look at the overall shape of the foot. Toe shoes must look the same as the second layer of skin, i.e. have the same length and width as the foot. If you don't feel the top of the toe, then change the pair of shoes that are shorter until you feel the toe touch the plane. Be sure to check your toes and do not squat, and try to use the fully flat feet to make Plies, then check the width of the shoes. It should be felt that the five toes are fully flat and the outside of the foot is slightly squeezed.
3) Toe shoes have a variety of widths. If the toe is wider, it will be wider. For beginners, it is easier to find the center of gravity when standing on the toes. However, it should be noted that the wider the toe is, the better. So try the width again. One foot is on the ground, and the other is the toe. The center of gravity is placed on the plane of the toe shoes. If you feel your foot slipping into the toe, it means the toe is too wide. Look at the length again. The shoe should completely wrap the foot, and when the toe is raised, there will be a small protrusion at the heel (because it will become shorter when the foot is stretched). But when your feet are flat as one, and the action of the feet is fully extended, the protrusion should disappear.
4) Select the toe shoes according to the above steps, you will find the shoes that suit your feet. Of course, it is best to let the teacher see if it is appropriate. It is not necessary to test the shoes. If you insist on trying on the shoes, the heels may slip off the heels because there is no ribbon tied. Sliding does not necessarily mean that the shoes are too big. However, it is still discouraged to try shoes in this way, because once you get on the toes, the shoes are likely to be slightly deformed, and this change can not be seen with the eyes.
Attention indicator
1) The toe of some people's feet are thin and long, some are wide, and some people will be particularly wide in the toe bone, so you should pay attention to your feet when choosing.
Shoes, but not because of the narrow shoes. It will look better and barely wear it.
2) Hardness Especially the hardness of the shoe board. Usually divided into soft, medium and hard. It is not advisable to buy shoes that are too soft, especially for beginners. The strength of the feet is not enough. Shoes that are too soft may cause damage to the feet due to poor support. Too hard shoes are often difficult to stretch, increasing the burden on the ankle. This kind of hard shoes are generally made for actors with extra high backs and special shoes. If the shoes you buy are too hard, soften them until you can stretch your toes.
3) Shoe height. Some shoes vary widely and are divided into different heights, but the height of the shoes is relatively high, i.e. the wearable portion of the toes is empty. Therefore, when purchasing accessories, you can purchase more durable accessories. When you get home, step on the upper part of the shoe to make it softer, adjust the foot, the height will be shorter, and the width will naturally increase.
