Just curious how many adult recreational dancers are working with more than one pair of pointe shoes at once? I just switched back to regular pointe shoes after trying to make Gaynor Mindens work for me. I found a pair I love (Nikolay 3007), but they're already breaking down after two classes (I have very strong, flexible, and maybe sweatier than average feet). Thinking of maybe buying an additional pair (or 2?) to make them last longer, but I'm also not made of money, I'm wondering if it will make a huge difference to have shoes in rotation? (Note: I'm diligent about not keeping my shoes in a sweaty bag, let them dry out for 48 hours between wears and use jet glue to try to strengthen them).
