At that time they were very friendly (since then, I heard a report that they haven't been so welcoming).<p>I think that if you're serious about taking pointe I would consider having a pair custom made. The male foot is generally different from the stock female forms that any manufacturer uses. The cost may be greater, but the fit will be better.<p>I've had friends who took pointe, and one problem that seems to always occur is with the shoes. If you can afford a custom pair that fits your foot the best, the training will go better.<p>Unfortunately, the best advice for buying any shoe is to find the one that fits best, regardless of the price.<p>Good Luck!
