How to make your toenails feel better on pointe?

when your a ballerina and you go on pointe how do you make toenails feel better while your on pointeHow to make your toenails feel better on pointe?
I keep my toenails short. (a very thin sliver of white is left)


I file the nail bed of all my toe nails, so the nails aren't too thick, it just makes them thinner to relieve some of the pressure.


I ensure that my toe padding is sufficient (I use lambs wool, so sometimes i wash and dry it so it can get fluffy again; there are lots of other options too like gel padding).


I keep lifted in my shoe to make sure I don't sink into my shoe or crunch my toes.





Pointe may never be painless, so I usually soak my feet in cold water with ice once a week.





Good luck and enjoy!How to make your toenails feel better on pointe?

*make sure if you go en pointe you have a qualified teachers approval =)
dpnt cut them the day before u pointe cuz cut toenails a pointe dancing are not good with each other
make sure that they are cut short, just not TOO short or else it hurts even more....if they still hurt, get different toe pads....
makes sure your toenails arent too long or too short


get good padding that isnt worn out
