Why don’t vendors just make better shoes?

Such very, very rude remarks just because some folks know ballerina shoes need to be beaten and grated. If they are not dancers why would they need to know. Lack of kindness is a real problem in our world.

Another technique is slamming them in a door.

This makes me think of the cruel practice of compressing oriental's toes to make their feet small. Cruel.🤔

Each foot is one of a kind, just like the ballerina…who expresses herself through dance. It’s was interesting learning how they make them individually their own! WTH…a grater😆

Love how people who have never been in ballet think they know 😆. You don’t scuff the tips you will slide all over the place and look like an idiot. You can’t do routines with soles that don’t flex. One fall can end ya.

shoes' toes (the stiff "box") to customize them for comfort, support, and performance, softening hard areas for better articulation while strengthening others, and sometimes darning or cutting the tips to mold the shoe perfectly to their unique foot shape for artistry and to prevent injury, a process essential because store-bought shoes are too rigid and generic.

Custom shoes are better but expensive.

And it’s also used as safety-ballet girls/boys grate their shoes so when they are on stage they don’t slip and fall hard.
