Thanks; that was interesting. I especially enjoyed the ads for American Hotrod and American Chopper superimposed over the pink satin pointe shoes. Must be an interesting audience they're aiming for.

Yes, thanks, innopac.

I've read about the process, of course but, not surprisingly, seeing it adds greater appreciation of the craft.

New York City Ballet has posted this new, very interesting,

:

"The Importance of the Perfect Fit. Principal Dancer Megan Fairchild discusses her pointe shoes."

Thanks!

That was very interesting.

I was amazed at how much the company has to spend on shoes.
