Lesson #1 never ever get on the bad side of anyone who is involved in the process of making your shoes!!! You be nice as pie to everyone and anyone with the company, shoe mistress at your company, everyone that has a hand with your shoes! Don't learn this lesson the hard way! Be nice and considerate and always tell them how much you appreciate all the hard work!!
this is about the 3rd video or so of the making of shoes and I have to say the factory is the cleanest and organized. the shoes also higher end to me. well done Russia.
Grishko brand are my favorite brand! they fit my feet like a glove! Its like the Russian people know ballet shoes! There slogan should say, " From Russia with love"!
@Catherine Vervenne-glew LOL i can’t believe someone replied 7 years later. i’m not a ballet dancer anymore, but i wore grishko’s for the rest of my career! definitely try them out, especially if you’ve got tapered feet !
I have huge appreciation for the skill required for handmade pointe shoes.. But this documentary makes it sound as if no one else does it anymore.. Freed?!
I love how hard grishkos are. Before my hard shank freed of London’s lasted ONE day. I didn’t bend them, only did releves to break them in. And my hard Russian pointe rubins would last 2 weeks.
Thank you so so much! :) I got my first pair yesterday, and they fit like a glove! They look amazing and I don't want to take them off, let alone take my eyes off them! :)
I totally love my Grishko's, which I got as my secong pair after my capezio's died, but in Czech republic these aren't called Grishkovky, but špičkovky from the czech word špička - tip.
Quetzalcoatl Topiltzin The Maya II is built on the Vaganova last but the sole is machine stitched instead of glued by hand. I think Maya I is built on the Fouette last but this I don’t know for sure.

Erin S. How about you just be nice to everyone?
Joni Mitchell called this "Giving to get something" in a song.
does anyone else feel complete satisfaction when you hear pointe shoes thumping in unison and nice practice tutus flopping slightly when you echappe?
you should never hear your pointe shoes
MsPrincess0019 when they aren't broken yet they can be noisy.
Yes 100%
It's incredible to see how pointe shoes are made. They're such a work of art. :)
Most interesting fact learned here: deafness is a valuable characteristic in a Grishko pointe shoe cobbler! So cool!

So incredibly thankful to all of the pointe shoe cobblers out there that have made each and every special shoe I've worn proudly!

Of all the pointe shoes I wore my Grishko Ulanovas were my absolute favorite.
I love these shoes. I get the hard shank and they last longer than any other shoe I know.
Shannon Sloan how long do they usually last?
Spotted joy Womack in this!
Where?
@@violettas.5402 About 5:45 in. I thought it was her too!

Thaily Sepulveda does it have a large range

What a fascinating video and story about making pointe shoes. Wish I could still wear them and dance in them. This will have to do. Thank you!
I watch this often..so cool..love that peach color..
So wonderful…thank-you very much..just beautiful and fascinating…

Brilliant video super informative… thank you x
it balances by itself until you break it in and it folds in half lol
Those purple pointe shoes at 8:04 😍
Beautiful and magical!
What a spontaneous and un-staged documentary...
did you want them to record this in secret? what a strange comment
The music at 8:31 and 15:59 is from Ponchieli's "Dance of the Hours."
How were they made 100 years ago?
Thank you for this interesting video!
So very interesting!!!!!
They make such beautiful toe shoes and tutus!!!
Gaynor at 19:30 ...
It is not distinct,but I believe you're right the sole looks pretty similar to gaynors
Why are Maya pointes so hard to find in Britain? By the way LOVE the cats!
43 to 45 kg 🥲
“And wishing it was me…”
Does anyone know what ballet school this is?
Bolshoi Ballet Academy, even though you asked five years ago. 😉
... almost edible
I know I was like and what makes it not edible exactly and I would never want to lick my pointe shoe?
The students from the Bolshoi Ballet Academy are wearing so nice looking leotards.
The chair looks like a Minecraft scaffolding
Pointe ruined my feet. Maybe I should have had these.
Where do you buy the leotards the students are wearing?!?
Layla Equestrian WALMART??
@@star3822 I reccomend that no one, EVERY buys a leotard from walmart.
Am I the only one watching this in 2020
I owe a hammer just like that. My dad used it when repairing shoes. No pointes, but regular shoes. 😳
Daria khokhlova😍😍😍😍
Так интересно!!👍
I love my pointe shoes there red but the Sho won't stand up by itself .
I love so much Fouette and Vaganova models. It rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why did you discontinue it?!!!
Quetzalcoatl Topiltzin The Maya II is built on the Vaganova last but the sole is machine stitched instead of glued by hand. I think Maya I is built on the Fouette last but this I don’t know for sure.
I wear grishkos but I prefer capezios!
I have worn many brands ballet shoes and Grishko's
