Los Angeles,CAMy daughter could not dance en pointe without the Eurotard pointe comfort toe pads. She's been using them for about two years now. They effectively prevent blisters and reduce the pain without loosing the feel of the floor. My daughter's feet look great compared to the other girls' at the studio. They do tear before I'm ready to buy new ones but they are so effective, I almost don't mind. I'd say they last about one month of weekly use or 30 hours.

03/14/2017I always use these but the last set..... well this last set I ordered they were WAY too small. They are so small that I gave them to my daughter and now I have to find a way to get another pair that fit.

04/11/2014My daughter loves these. She is the only one in her class who isn't getting blisters. They are easy to clean. My daughters old pair lasted over a year. I would definitely recommend these.

03/10/2014These toe pads did not fit my foot properly and would slide around in my shoe. I went through two pairs in less then a month, I would not recommend them for someone with a wider foot.

01/26/2014My mom bought these for me after my leo's toe pads ripped(i loved those toepads so much, they lasted for 4 yrs lol) When I first opened them, they felt practically wet, and the paper in the packaging was wet and gooey. They also stuck together which is understandable, but they were so hard to separate that I felt as if I was going to rip them. Sure enough, the corner of one ripped. You can basically tear them if you pinch them with your nails. They are really bad so don't waste your 20 bucks on these.
I was really disappointed in them :(

12/19/2013I previously bought skinny dips and my daughter really liked them.. I bought the comfort toes and she loves them.. This is her first year in pointe and the dips helped but she says these fit great, stay in place and are very easy on her toes.. she recommends them.

10/07/2013I purchased these and a lighter weight version, and together they even out my feet that are 1/2+ size different from each other. A little thick, but it is a small price to pay to not have to get two sizes of pointe shoes.

08/09/2013Ok I remember the first time i Bought this, it was around 9 years ago. I still have them and i use them occasionally . They are very comfortable, very easy to wear, clean... But yes a little bulky at first (but after a few hours with them on, your toes will be like sucked in the gel and you will be able to feel the floor) ... THE CLEAR ONES OF THIS SAME BRAND ARE LESS BULKY (MORE THIN )

04/21/2013I wore these once, and one of them split in half. They were pretty uncomfortable, too.

03/26/2013These are awful. I am returning them. I only took them out of the package and the are totally different shapes from one another. I should have stuck with Ouch pouch originals.

02/23/2013I love these things!!! They last very long and don't wear out. The only bad thing that I would say is that you have to put baby powder on it and if you forget to it's not very comfortable to dance in.They also are very thick and protect my toes from blistering.

10/07/2012These are very thick, and protect toes very well... But, they are certainly not my choice. I bought these and didn't like them very much. They were too thick for me. I prefer lambs wool. I only recommend these if you don't like to feel the floor...

04/10/2012Ok, these are the best you can get for your 1st year en pointe! People say to go light on your 1st year, but with light to padding, the dancer might develop a hate for wanting to dance en pointe because of all the pain that comes with wearing them. I think they are perfect for a 1st year, but after that, SLOWLY wean yourself off larger amounts of padding. Pro's use,like, nothing in their shoes. OUCH!!!!!!
Totally get the pads, because your feet will totally love you for it!

03/16/2012I've been using these for awhile. I switch back and forth between Gellows and these, but by far I like these better. I would recommend to order them first THEN get fitted with them. They are thicker than a lot of other brands, so if you order them for your current pair they'll most likely make your shoes too tight. I love these. Oh, and you can't really feel the floor. :)

02/26/2012After 15 years of pointe experience and trying lambswool, foam pads, ouch pouch, ouch pouch gel, and thinner versions of the blue eurotard pad I will always use this product. What amazes me is the reviewers on here referring to this product as a "cheat" pad. It is not cheating to be health conscious and use products that can prolong your career and avoid injury. True they are not suitable for all, and trial and error is the only way to find the perfect product for each individual. I use these pads with Gaynor Minden sleek fit box 4 and they have served me well for 10 years. As with any dance item they do wear out, I use about 2 pairs a year at the professional level. I can feel the floor and I do sweat in them, sweating however is limited if you use your tights with the pads and use baby powder as instructed with the product. I look forward to many more years of dancing en pointe thanks to an orthotically tested product protecting my feet.

02/19/2012I used these as my 2nd toe pads and I didn't really like them at all. You CANNOT feel the floor! Being able to feel the floor is very important because you need to know where you're stepping. Some people might think they would be good for beginners, because they are very comfortable, but beginners, most importantly out of everyone need to be able to feel the floor, they won't know if they're on their box if they can't. I would only recommend these to people that have narrow, bony feet, because they're really bulky, so they won't fit into the shoe of someone with wider feet. Also, if your feet are bony the hard sides of the pointe shoe might cause you pain, these pads come further down the side of the foot then most toe pads.

Texas,When I first got these in the mail and tried them on with my pointe shoes (russian pointe entrada) I hated them! I could barely even get my toes inside the toe padds, and I have very narrow toes. So I was set on taking them back. But I decided to play around with them and see if I could make them work. What I ended up doing was turning them around so that the bottom of the pad (the longer part) is on the top of my foot and it covers my bones a lot better. I love them like this! They cover your toes and everything. So if your trying to find something that covers all your toes up to the foot and the sides. Turn these around and they are perfect!!!

Indiana,These were used with my first pair of pointe shoes, so I haven't used another brand of padding. Although they provide a lot of support, when I take them off to change into flat shoes or street shoes, my toes are flat and sting. At first I thought I had an ingrown toe nail, but then I realized the pads may not be right for everyone's individual foot. Thanks to this shoe I have started turns and balances much earlier than I expected. I give these pads (Eurotard Point Comfort) a four out of five!

Houston, Tx,Having been on pointe for 18 years, I have used lots of different toe pads and cushioning. When I first started on pointe all we had was lambs wool. Boy, I wish these were around back then. They are fabulous!. I go through about 1 pair of these every 1.5 - 2 years. Use baby powder with these ( on the insides and rub the outsides of them with it too). It will prolong their use.

Indiana,These get a 4 because I don't have many other pads to compare them to. That's because they are awesome! I am 6 feet tall and not stick-thin so this calls for a little more padding. I use these alone or with a little bit of wool. When I go up, they give just the right amount of cushion and support. Just make sure to wash them and keep them fresh with powder in between uses and they'll last!

Pennsylvania,I had these for the first two years I danced pointe and while they were more comfortable than just lamb's wool for beginning to dance, they made my feet sweat like crazy. This caused my toes to shrivel (like when you've been in the bath too long) and pointe was even more uncomfortable! I'd only recommend them if you also tape your toes, or if you are not prone to sweaty feet.

04/17/2009Although I love wearing gel pads, these were too thick and stiff for me. I prefer the light pink and purple toe pads which are thinner and mold to your feet.

06/29/2008Honestly, I'd rather wear nothing (which I do now) and I'm only 12 years old. You may think these pads are comfy but barefoot feels so much better.

01/19/2008These were not very good. I got these for my first pair of pointe shoes and I felt a lot of pain after being on them for just half an hour. The edges dug into the sides of my feet. Also, my feet started to burn when I took them off. They took up way too much space in my pointe shoes and made my shoes feel two sizes too small.

Portland, Or,I would only recommend these to people who have trouble getting over their box. For some reason they help you get over better. I personally don�t wear these anymore, (they sent me over the box). A tip: If you don�t wear your tights under these, your foot starts going numb. They seem to create suction when your foot sweats. But if you don�t wear tights over the top, they are really hard to get in your shoe. So cut the toes off an old pair of tights to put over the top of the pad.

12/17/2006These are so awful. Get these if you don't want to feel the floor and have your feet hurting at the end of the day. Anyway, they are just too thick and do not last long at all. I wish I could give these a -100.

Portland, Or,These are nice pads, but they are very bulky. A nice thing is they can help those students who can't get over their box fully, to actually get on it.

06/11/2006I love these pointe shoe pads! I have been using a pair of them for two years now, and have had no issues with blisters and bloody toes! I can feel the floor and I can feel hardly any shooting pain from my feet. As much as I love them I have been extremely discouraged from using them by many people (for pre-professional training), but these suit me quite well.

06/09/2006I like the coverage and the placement of the padding, but I thought they were a little hard and really hurt my toenails. Most people I know really like them, but I need something softer because of my extra large big toe.
