Lost and Found: Pointe Shoes


The last pair of shoes. 

Shoe rescue, before most of the dirt and sweat and breakdown takes place. Hours spent darning the satin toes for extended life. Sewing the ribbon ties with the strongest thread. The pounding and abuse they took! 

All for that illusion of gliding and airborne, weightless movement.
