I saw a news show years ago that profiles a shoe maker and how he had been making shoes for the same ballerina’s for years. It had never occurred to me how big a deal that would be, even though as a figure skating fan I was aware that figure skaters are just as particular about their boots and blades. Would love to hear more about how ballerinas prepare the shoes.
