How to Tie Ballerina Shoes

Tying pointe shoes incorrectly can be dangerous and cause serious injury to the dancer. This article will describe the correct way to tie ballet (pointe) shoes.

Instructions

Put the shoe on your foot.

Take the inside ribbon first and cross it over the arch of your foot and wrap around your ankle completely finishing at the inside of the ankle just before the ankle bone.

Hold this ribbon firmly and take the outside ribbon and wrap across the arch of your foot and all around your ankle crossing over the other ribbon and finishing at the same point. Both ribbons should be lying smooth over your foot.

Tie a double knot on the inside of your ankle and tuck the spare ribbon away. Cut this to about 2-3 inches length if the ribbon is quite long. Never tie to tight so your ankle is restricted. When tying your pointe shoe it is more comfortable and secure if you tie while your foot is in the en-pointe position.
