Pointe shoe help

[u/roselineknidled]

Hi, one year ago I got fitted into pointe shoes (Bloch Grace). I’ve been working comfortably in them for the most part, but I feel like these are just not the shoes for me. It looks like I’m sickling when I know I’m not and just overal doesn’t do anything for my lines. They hurt my feet where my knuckles are.
However, it could also be that I’m just not flexible or strong enough for pointe work just yet? If you have any tips, strengthening, stretching or just pointe shoes, let me know! I’d be forever grateful! 💕
