Demi pointe shoes/Soft Blocks

Grishkos have to be the hardest shoes on the market.  I had a student who was very easy on the pointe shoes - she managed to keep using her first pair of Grishko pointe shoes for 6 years until she left school!  And they still clonked till the end - even though the blocks by then were totally soft!  She was determined to dance in her last school recital in them and she did!

I must be heavy on shoes then as my 2007 soft blocks are like soft satin slippers! I buy the same length and width as my point shoes. I find they soften quite quickly with manual manipulation of the top of the box to enable a roll through without any digging in. Then thick socks over the top and wear them around the house for a couple of evenings.
