Dottie's Pointe Shoes



Pointe shoes made at the Chicago Theatrical Shoe Company. No information is known about this company yet- nor a good place to have these shoes restored! The original satin color was an apple green, as made evident by a small piece of fabric found in one of the shoes.

    Please don't attempt to 'restore' them! They're beautiful as they are. Conserve yes, restore no. In any case I'm not aware of any way you can restore pointe shoes. Any attempt to, would mean you'd lose all the evidence of her love of dancing because that is what used ballet shoes contain. Love of dancing, sweat, long hours of practice and the joy of performing. They're lovely!
