As I was searching for useful information to post on this blog, I came across this particular website. It's the official site for Gaynor Minden, but don't let that throw you off. There is far more to this site than product promotion.
On the second half of the side menu bar, there is a section entitled "Info For Dancers". This section has links to articles on the history of pointe work and the funtionality of pointe shoes; health and safety tips; advice for parents and teachers; dancer biographies; and much more.
I was particularly intrigued by the "All About Pointe" section. It tells you how a pointe shoe works, what the different parts of a pointe shoe are, and what exactly is inside a pointe shoe. For that section, Gaynor Minden took 12 different brands of pointe shoes, in addition to their own, and cut them in half lengthwise. It was rather enlightening.
