During a pointe shoe fitting, the dancer tries on multiple pairs to find the perfect fit. The fitter takes measurements, examines the arches and toe shape, and determines the appropriate style and size. The dancer stands en pointe and walks around to assess comfort and support. Once the perfect pair is found, the dancer gradually breaks them in to mold them to their feet for optimal performance and safety while dancing en pointe.
