Comments on: The Ballet Slippers for Men Tutorial http://www.balletformen.com/2009/11/02/the-ballet-slippers-for-men-tutorial/ For Men who want to Dance Fri, 25 Nov 2011 12:24:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2 By: Lisa http://www.balletformen.com/2009/11/02/the-ballet-slippers-for-men-tutorial/comment-page-1/#comment-1499 Lisa Mon, 04 Oct 2010 12:54:15 +0000 http://www.balletformen.com/?p=195#comment-1499 Thank goodness for this article! My son is 12 and currently wears a size 13 street shoe. In August I bought him a pair of 14 sansha canvas ballets. Two days ago he was complaining they were hurting his toes - ended up buying a 17 for him (18 is as high as sansha goes). I have been scouring the internet looking for brands that will accomodate his enormous, still growing feet. The Fuzi tip was just what I was looking for since they go up to size 16 street shoe and will make extended sizes beyond that. Phew! Thank goodness for this article!

Thanks so much!!! I know this hasn't been updated recently, but I just have a little advice. I'm 18 and I've been dancing for 12 years now, so through experience I've found that wearing footed tights have prolonged the life of my ballet slippers significantly! And lots of times, they stay a bit "fresher" too. Talking about scent that is. Haha. Just a little tip for ya! :) This post is oober helpful! Thanks so much!!!

I've been taking lessons for years and this is a surprisingly relevant article. I don't think men's ballet gets the attention it deserves. There are a couple high school football players in my class and they say the ballet workouts are tougher than the football workouts. Awesome article.

My previous pair didn't have the elastic included, so I hadn't sewn it in before. I sat there trying to figure out exactly where I should line it up. Had I only waited a few hours...
