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!!

[@deeprose4]

Erin S. How about you just be nice to everyone?

[@deenibeeniable]

Joni Mitchell called this "Giving to get something" in a song.

[@5167304]

Most interesting fact learned here: deafness is a valuable characteristic in a Grishko pointe shoe cobbler! So cool!

[@reillytrammell7422]

does anyone else feel complete satisfaction when you hear pointe shoes thumping in unison and nice practice tutus flopping slightly when you echappe?

[@MsPrincess0019]

you should never hear your pointe shoes

[@reillytrammell7422]

MsPrincess0019 when they aren't broken yet they can be noisy.

[@ameliadanielle4019]

Yes 100%

[@delphine5260]

Just make sure you aren't jumping up to Pointe

[@lydiaherring2853]

It's incredible to see how pointe shoes are made. They're such a work of art. :)

[@Y0lin]

Thank you so much for the English translation! I love Grishko pointe shoes, this video is amazing.

[@wait-what-really.]

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.

[@LydiaRocksHaha]

Spotted joy Womack in this!

[@violettas.5402]

Where?

[@denisehill7769]

@@violettas.5402 About 5:45 in. I thought it was her too!

[@EmmWood91]

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?!

[@amandao.7705]

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.

[@kimisdancin]

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"!

[@ellekirsten3221]

just got grishko's after my bloch's died.... NEVER going back!!!

[@deliavallarsa8698]

omg same 🥰

[@ellekirsten3221]

@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 !

[@nancytestani1470]

So wonderful…thank-you very much..just beautiful and fascinating…

[@nancytestani1470]

I watch this often..so cool..love that peach color..

[@shannonsloan6210]

I love these shoes. I get the hard shank and they last longer than any other shoe I know.

[@rl-gb7ez]

Shannon Sloan how long do they usually last?

[@thailysepulveda1859]

I have Grishko 2007's and they fit my feet like a glove!!!

[@Mary-be3ec]

Thaily Sepulveda does it have a large range

[@juliabrown6923]

Ahhh i loved my 2007’s

[@trappedinside1]

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

[@reillytrammell7422]

it balances by itself until you break it in and it folds in half lol

[@AlexandraL1]

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! :)

[@crystalcordell7102]

Of all the pointe shoes I wore my Grishko Ulanovas were my absolute favorite.

[@sandfly60]

Thankyou so much. This video is heaven to me. I am absolutely fascinated by the process! More please!

[@Caskader]

What a spontaneous and un-staged documentary...

[@r.morgan1474]

did you want them to record this in secret? what a strange comment

[@itsansley3305]

i LOVE mine! they fit perfect and i will never change brands!!!

[@charlottetracy3970]

Beautiful and magical!

[@CatherineSTodd]

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!

[@randomnesspersonified]

Those purple pointe shoes at 8:04 😍

[@olejarovav]

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.

[@100acrewood]

The music at 8:31 and 15:59 is from Ponchieli's "Dance of the Hours."

[@suz567]

How were they made 100 years ago?

[@hay_bail1]

Gaynor at 19:30 ...

[@violettas.5402]

It is not distinct,but I believe you're right the sole looks pretty similar to gaynors

[@2snowgirl520]

So very interesting!!!!!

[@pamelacrawford4105]

They make such beautiful toe shoes and tutus!!!

[@mnkmrs2615]

... almost edible

[@user-gy2bv2uf3b]

I know I was like and what makes it not edible exactly and I would never want to lick my pointe shoe?

[@SchottenbauerVideos]

Thank you for this interesting video!

[@violet7172]

[@Bingus_my_beloved.]

The chair looks like a Minecraft scaffolding

[@Djumke2011]

The students from the Bolshoi Ballet Academy are wearing so nice looking leotards.

[@patriciabilinkas3911]

Pointe ruined my feet. Maybe I should have had these.

[@mariappalala]

Так интересно!!👍

[@imcavdb5465]

I owe a hammer just like that. My dad used it when repairing shoes. No pointes, but regular shoes. 😳

[@londonsieara7195]

I love my pointe shoes there red but the Sho won't stand up by itself .

[@sophialin2277]

I wear grishkos but I prefer capezios!

[@kimisdancin]

I have worn many brands ballet shoes and Grishko's

[@violettas.5402]

[@lydiabentley8346]

[@Tf2gamehelper]

[@dancersince02]

[@chalkedlines8960]

[@balletfan162]

[@ninashaw6315]

[@pheart2381]

[@quetzalcoatltopiltzin2423]

I love so much Fouette and Vaganova models. It rules!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why did you discontinue it?!!!

[@sarafagerlund1884]

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.

[@laylaequestrian3408]

Where do you buy the leotards the students are wearing?!?

[@star3822]

Layla Equestrian WALMART??

[@morgan.r_taylor]

@@star3822 I reccomend that no one, EVERY buys a leotard from walmart.
