Alice Topp here!! It's been l...Hello Everyone!! Alice Topp here!! It's been lovely to read all your great feedback! I would just like to answer the question in regards to pointe shoes and how us ladies cope with our feet. I find that we all have different ways of managing the daily stresses on our feet but in general, all of us find that sticking them in ice buckets after a show for about 15 minutes reduces a lot of the swelling and inflammation that comes from being on pointe all day. Regular physio treatment aids us in injury prevention and management throughout a season and most of us have some sort of protection for our toes in the shoe, like bandaids, gel toes, strapping tape, wool or chux cloth.<br />I find the pressure on the feet always varies depending on the intensity of the workload so it's not like we always are suffering from blisters.<br /><br />Pointe shoes have come a long way since they were first made and the makers have the ability to custom make them now, so that they can be made to suit our individual needs. Some people have 3/4 soles, some have the heal tapered up to contour the ankle so these are some things which help make the shoes more comfortable.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-908894811990385880.post-81621747140254035512010-02-13T12:53:00.546+00:002010-02-13T12:53:00.546+00:00Great interview!

The one question that ...What a wonderful interview. The one question that I always would like to ask any dancer that does point is how do they cope with the stress that their feet go through. I know that some suffer more than others.<br />The one thing that I also wonder is after all of this time and new materials being produced daily is there any advances on the traditional point to make them more comfortable? It is just a thought - but knowing how hard they are, I am filled with awe and admiration when every movement appears to be done so effortlessly.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12232800801644644689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-908894811990385880.post-83838481925401593162010-02-12T11:02:05.977+00:002010-02-12T11:02:05.977+00:00she looks like a very cool stylish dancer!she looks like a very cool stylish dancer!Noomie Doodles Fashionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16020647353490268914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-908894811990385880.post-20467332433649909432010-02-11T09:26:57.175+00:002010-02-11T09:26:57.175+00:00AlyGatr - thank you !

I want to know what's up with the whole Brad Pitt/Angelina Jolie thing too :) I also love that she has a kitty alarm (I have a two year old toddler alarm that likes to wake me up at 5:30 am!) and that she does yoga every morning. I adore doing yoga. I might not have an ounce of dancing talent, but it's good to see I have something in common with a beautiful ballerina !Alyssa S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11674708702014878064noreply@blogger.com
