Our journey with Lauren Fagone and her pointe shoes continues! As rehearsals for Nutcracker pick up in intensity - now just days away from our opening night in Norfolk - Lauren continues to rehearse her role as the Snow Queen. With long hours in the studio, Laurens pointe shoes are also already in need some of repairs. Read as Lauren explains how and why she darns, and then re-darns, her shoes. Freeds are handmade shoes, lovingly crafted with care, but that can also mean that each pair has slight inconsistencies. Therefore, darning the tips is an extra measure I take to ensure I have the best - and consistent - platform possible when Im dancing on my toes. Darning around the tip of the shoe also makes them more quiet. Occasionally I will even have to re-darn the tips of the shoes if the stitches come loose.
