Why Do We Need Toe Pads?

Why do we need Toe Pads?

It’s important to protect the top of your toes when on pointe. This is a protective covering that goes over your toes inside your pointe shoes. 

Toe pads protect your toes, and prevents you from getting bunions, ingrown toenails or bruising under the toenail. Not everyone needs a lot of cushion in their pointe shoes which is why there are different levels of thickness depending on the dancer.
