Do you know how to sew the the ballet shoes??????

Elastic on the ballet shoes should be sewn on the same way as on pointe shoes. While some people will just sew the elastic straight across the top of the foot, this does little to hold the shoe on properly. One way to sew on the elastics is to first fold down the heel of the shoe and flatten it out. Trace the seam the fold makes from the inside of the shoe. It should be a semi-circle. Use this as a guide to sewing on your elastic. In some cases, companies will teach their pre pointe students to sew ribbons onto their ballet shoes as well. This gets them used to sewing the ribbons, working in a shoe with ribbons on, and tying them on as well. Practicing your sewing on a pair of ballet shoes is much better than making mistakes on a new pair of pointe shoes.

Another way to sew on your elastics that is popular with male dancers is to cross the elastics. You simply need two pieces of elastic, and just sew them across the top of the shoe in an "X" shape. This is a good idea if you have tapered feet. This technique can also be used on pointe shoes, especially with shoes that do not have a drawstring, such as Grishko's. Like I mentioned before, Sansha ballet shoes come with one side of the elastic already sewn. The elastic is placed so that you can cross the elastics. It's also better when trying the shoe on because you can tie the elastic on to get an idea of how the shoe is going to fit once sewn.

If they are regular flat shoes then you just cross the elastic over ur foot and adjust it so it's comfortable. If ur dealing with pointe shoes i am really sorry. they r a pain!!! i cross my elastics like with the flats and sew the ribbons about an inch from the seam in the back.
