Softness is a quality I hold dear to my heart- just not in my pointe shoes! Going to shellac these a few more times to get these babies to give me a few more classes cause my credit card is like, you’re really going to buy more shoes?!? Yes, yes I am, but I’m going to try to prolong the inevitable debt a little longer 🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑🤑💸

Gearing up for The Land of Sweets! Like if your pointe shoes were a Sundae and Pointe Shoe Shellac is that delicious caramel sauce- But please - remember this is only a tasty treat for your pointe shoes- do not drink! 😆 Seriously though- be kind to your shoes, shellac them for those long rehearsals@coming up@and dance longer! (Sorry about my singing by the way…. I couldn’t resist- I randomly did make 99 bottles though)

New product launch update! And and and….. patience makes perfect they say- and boy it’s got to be perfect! And it’s going to be but manufacturing takes a lot of time! So we’re now looking at a mid November launch. We lost about a month because of one small but relatively massive miscommunication error. Also- brands out there- have you figured out the EU’s new packaging requirements? I have so many questions! No wonder pointe shoe prices have gone up! What a time to be making things! Keep dancing and in the mean time keep your shoes lasting longer with Pointe Shoe Shellac!

So great meeting Hannah from To The Pointe-Shoe Store located in Tupelo, Mississippi. I got to see her gorgeous feet in action during her Gaynor Minden fitting. And thanks so much to Anna at Gaynor for letting me try out their new line of pointe shoes coming out this fall! So nice to talk shop with women in the dance retail biz!

Not all shoe-hardening methods are created equal!

While synthetic glues sit on top of the shoe—creating crusty edges and making re-application nearly impossible—Pointe Shoe Shellac works with your shoe’s natural materials. Because shellac is a natural ingredient, it absorbs deep into the pressed board shank, box, and wings to harden the structure from the inside out.
Why dancers (and parents) prefer shellac:
Safer Choice: A gentler, safer option for younger dancers.
Seamless Absorption: Bonds directly with traditional pointe shoe materials rather than forming a rigid surface barrier.
Easy Care: Simple to apply and clean without leaving harsh residue.
Give your shoes longer life and support without the crust. 🤢
