Can I wear insoles with split sole ballet shoes?
Asked 3 years ago
Hi there. I am a ballet dancer who would like to start wearing insoles with my split sole ballet shoes while performing. My concern is that the insole will slip out while I dance or that it will cause discomfort. Does anybody know if it is safe to wear insoles in this type of shoe? Is it better to only wear insoles with full sole ballet shoes?

There are a host of orthotics on the market specifically designed for ballet shoes. The orthotics are slim, flexible and will provide your feet with additional support while you partake in your dancing activities. If you do get orthotics, it is advised to wear the orthotics while training or practicing as this would be the time where you'll be working your feet the most. During training you'll determine if they'll provide you with positive benefits and not cause discomfort. The other option is that you could perform without them in if you are worried they they might slip out.
