How can I make my old pointe shoes into demi pointes?
I bought myself a pair of demi pointes, and the box of the shoe is fairly soft, but the platform is almost as hard as that of pointe shoes. I’m guess the shoes you want to make into demi’s are dead, so all you have to do is literally rip out the inner sole/ shank, but i would keep the little bit of suede or material, whatever you have covering the shank, so you can stick this back in after you have ripped out the wood/paper/cardboard shank, so that the shoe is not bumpy and irritating inside, the last thing you want to do is get blisters. If the box is too hard, stamp on it, crush it between your hands, put a little water on it (from the inside) and just basically manipulate the box. I hope this helps.
