i had my first pointe shoe fitting today and turns out i have very compressible feet (not surprising i guess; i did gymnastics for 13 years and we had to sit on each other's feet haha). how do you get your shoes to be comfortable while flat but not baggy when en pointe? thank you!!

edit: unfortunately i have wide feet (they widen at the metatarsals and go back to normal at the toes) so i cant go very narrow 😭

edit 2: thank you all for all the help!! i’ll ask my teacher about all your tips when i see her
