daughter's pointe teacher wants her to give up her toe pads. &amp;nbsp;What are the pros and cons of using toe pads in pointe shoes? &amp;nbsp;Can they help prevent potential injuries such as bunions, arthritis, hammertoe, stress fractures,bone spurs etc. I have these problems and I want to prevent her from experiencing my fate.

ANSWER: Hi Nancy. Pointe shoes being what they are, I don't see any reason why anyone should give up any kind of padding if it prevents pain. Even when a pointe shoe is a (gift from heaven) perfect fit, sometimes a pad or wrapping of some kind around the toes is still needed to work properly. 

If her teacher believes that removing the padding is good for the character or some such idea, then that is terribly old fashioned. Bearing preventable pain doesn't make a dancer more professional.

You might ask her if she can check the fit of your daughter's shoe - maybe it can be improved at the next purchase. If so, less padding or sometimes none will be needed.

Personally, I used to be nauseous from pain in pointe classes. My class at that time had no help fitting our shoes, breaking them in etc. While padding was not forbidden, there was an unspoken air of "you'll get over the pain". When I got older and more independent I bought longer shoes and used LOTS of padding. I worked much better. I remember Karen Kain telling me once that she took 8 aspirins before performing "La Fille Mal Gardee" because of all the running around on pointe.

 In her later years, she also switched to longer shoes and whatever padding she needed, and she describes this in her autobiography.

So, it seems like you need a conversation with her teacher...hopefully it will go well. While padding will prevent blisters and being blinded with pain while one tries to work, only well-fitting shoes (pointe and good roomy street shoes) will help prevent the other afflictions you've mentioned.

As far as I am concerned, dancing in needless pain can lead to any kind of injury because it is so distracting.

Please let me know how this goes!
