Foot and shoe accessories for dance
Pointe work demands more from the foot than almost any other dance discipline, and the accessories that support it are not an afterthought. The right toe pad makes the difference between a pointe shoe that is comfortable to train in and one that causes injury. Properly sewn ribbons and elastic affect how the shoe sits and moves. Dance Direct stocks a specialist range of foot and shoe accessories for pointe dancers and all other dance disciplines from Bloch, Capezio and our own Dance Direct range.
Pointe shoe ribbons, elastic and fitting accessories
Pointe shoe ribbons attach the shoe securely to the ankle and are available in satin and cotton in ballet pink, black and white to match the shoe colour. Pointe shoe elastic is used in conjunction with or instead of ribbons, giving a more secure hold that is particularly popular for younger dancers and those with a higher arch. Ribbon and elastic must be sewn rather than glued for proper security, and Dance Direct stocks the correct grades and widths for pointe shoes across all brands.
Toe pads, gel caps and foot care
Toe pads cushion the toes and knuckles inside the pointe shoe box, absorbing the pressure of dancing en pointe. Gel toe caps protect individual toes that are prone to pressure or blistering inside the shoe. Bunion guards and toe spacers help manage forefoot comfort during training. Foot spray and foot care products maintain skin health and reduce friction through regular pointe training. For sizing on Bloch pointe accessories, refer to our Bloch size guides.
