Best Toe Pads for Pointe Shoes

Toe pads help reduce pressure on toes while dancing en pointe. They’re all typically made with silicone gel, some with and without fabric coverings. Those featuring fabric tend to offer more grip and breathability, however they can feel bulkier inside the toe box. All designs come in varying thickness, from thin styles made to help you better feel the floor to plusher styles for those who crave more support. Keep in mind, though, that some of these cushier styles — fabric covered or not — can make your pointe shoes feel uncomfortably tight, especially if you have a narrower cut shoe style. With this in mind, we rounded up some of the best toe pads to suit every preference. One even features a moisture-wicking lining ideal for dancers that are prone to sweaty feet.
