PerfectFit Inserts Kit
$48.00
Make your own custom-fitting pair of inserts to create unparalleled comfort, support and control.
Our kits combine our proprietary silicone impression technology with performance textiles to create a pair of custom inserts specifically molded to fit your feet. The inserts fill only the voids in the box of your shoe to evenly distribute weight across your toes and forefoot while on pointe. Experience more control over your pointe shoe and confidence in your dancing, while removing painful and damaging pressure points.
We’ve designed a new fitting solution, not another padding solution. Once you've molded a pair, the difference is instantly recognizable.
Proudly designed and made in California.
- Sizing
- We offer the kit in two sizes: S/M and L/XL. The amount of putty included is the same for both kits, but the L/XL fabric cover has a more generous cut.
We recommend L/XL for dancers with US street shoe size 9 and larger. We would also suggest the L/XL if you have a very wide foot, very long toes, or a higher vamp shoe. See measurements in the photo.
If you are uncertain, or in between sizes, it's always easy to trim down the larger size, as both socks have unfinished edges to allow for trimming. - What's included
- • 2 lavender wickaway fabric covers. Made from sport knit fabric, these special socks function to keep the molded material positioned correctly on your foot, and feature extra reinforcement in the big toe area.
• 2 sets of moldable impression material. This 2-part silicone putty chemically cures into a soft and stretchable rubber that provides firm support while en pointe. It offers enough resilience to absorb impact and allows your foot and toes to flex as they change position while dancing.
• 2 purple stretch spacer sleeves. These small sleeves will stretch over two common styles of gel spacers (for use between your first and second toe) so they can be molded directly into the insert. Depending on your foot shape, routinely wearing spacers can help prevent the onset of bunions.
• 2 plastic bag covers. These will cover the inserts during the molding process to protect the inside of your shoe.
• 1 white mesh bag. You can use this handy, breathable bag to store your inserts between classes and performances.
• Instruction booklet & video molding guide. The full-color, illustrated booklet will walk you through the fitting process in detail, following the same steps you see demonstrated in our real-time Molding Process Video tutorial.

Here's why dancers love PerfectFit!

Hannah, 14
"Having very narrow feet and strong/flexible arches, I have very specific needs for pointe shoes so it was hard to find a shoe that fits correctly. It took about 15 minutes to put on my shoes with all my spacers etc. and my feet would hurt after about a half an hour. These toe pads literally saved my life, meaning that I can dance for about 3 hours en pointe and feel like I've only danced only 30 minutes. They are perfectly customized to my feet and make pointe a lot easier and more comfortable."

Nikki, 18
"These feel so much more natural. I don't have any extra pressure on my big toe nails anymore, and the bruises under my big toenails have gone away! I love that the pressure is evenly distributed across my foot. I couldn't be more pleased. Thank you for all your hard work and effort! It's truly making a difference. :) "

Emily, 22
"I usually do not wear toe pads with my shoes, as they are fairly comfortable without and my feet have grown more accustomed without than with. These seemed like the cure to my slowly developing foot problems, and they are great if I have a long 8 hour day and need to take a load off my toes. These were exactly what I was needing. Performance-wise, I think the idea to mold spacers in was simply genius. They do not take up a ton of space, and are extremely thin for shoes that really do not have any room for extra padding. My bunions thank me on days I slip these on!"

Belinda, 40
"I have tried many pointe shoes and have yet to find "the perfect fit." I had surgery on my left foot many years ago and as a result, my range of motion is limited in my big toe. My last hope for a "better shoe" was Gaynor Minden. The Gaynor fit better than any of the others and helped my issues, but it wasn't a fix-all. I had to tape all of my toes and wear a big toe cap, which took forever to prepare before class. I ran across a youtube video of your inserts and fell instantly in love! I have danced multiple classes with my inserts and LOVE them! They force me to push over my left big toe for proper alignment and my mind is free to think about the dance, not my feet issues! They take up every little bit of extra space and make the shoe fit like a glove. Not having to tape all of my toes and wearing a toe cap has been so wonderful! One insert and I'm ready to go! Thank you so much for your help and product! You have made this dancer very happy!"

Estella, 13
"I had developed an undiagnosed bunion pain which made pointe work excruciating. It was a sharp shooting pain, which left my bunions sore afterwards. Also I had started pulling back on my shoes and rolling too far inwards (probably related to the pain). The PerfectFit inserts have positively transformed my pointe work. The bunion pain has vanished, and I have never gotten a blister since wearing them. They are allowing my to push over onto my platform, and have increased my sense of stability. They are super easy to use (after the initial moulding), and have made pointe work virtually pain free for me, except for the occasional ingrown toenail. I went from having level 10 pain to a 2."

Mary, 14
"I had tried Bloch pro pads, gel pads, and Ouch Pouches, and nothing worked for my feet. I was getting painful bruises on my toenails, and bunions were starting to form on the outer sides of my feet. But since I've started using PerfectFit, I haven't gotten a single bruise and the bunions actually stopped forming. I can still feel the floor in these, but they have made my pointe experience a lot more comfortable. These are a lifesaver! I love the fact they provide support and comfort but I can feel the floor better in these toe pads than any of the others I tried. I just absolutely love these inserts — they are the best!"

Rachel, 16
"I have had many problems with my bunions. I have tried dozens of things over the years and this seemed to be a smart product to try. It saves me 15 minutes every day because that was how long it took me to tape my toes for class. It has also taken away most of my pain. This has seriously helped my foot and ankle health. I broke my ankle and bruised the bone in my foot due to bad fitting shoes and this product has helped me get back on my feet (more like toes!) and prevented more injuries."
-
Chloe, 15
"I have unusually thin feet for someone of my height (5'11") and so it is always hard to find a pointe shoe that fits well and/or comfortably-most of the time one of those would be sacrificed. So I suffered from ingrown toenails and blisters and all kinds of things. When I saw your ad, I knew I had to give it a try. This insert has greatly helped my feet! It comforts my toes perfectly and it fills in the extra space so I'm not rubbing or bumping against the side of the shoe. They are so comfortable and supportable! And they are easy to mold too. I have received compliments from teachers and fellow dancers on my dancing improvement and on the inserts themselves!"
-
Mimi, 14
"I've found that dancing on pointe is extremely pain free! The molding process was very simple with the audio guide and I love my inserts! I will never switch back to my old padding! The best thing about PerfectFit Pointe is the simplicity. Not only do they offer comfort, but you don't have to carry around a bunch of extra pointe shoe accessories. Your toe spacers are integrated into the inserts so all you need are your shoes and the inserts! No other padding!”

"I'm an adult beginner pointe student. I've just made my first pair of custom molded pads and have used them in 3 pointe classes. They are AMAZING!!! I have tapered toes and so I've had a lot of trouble with pressure on my biggest toe. These pads evenly distribute the weight so well across my foot that I have no problem dancing with the bruised toenail I got from my old pads! I find I can work longer and harder, and I can focus more on technique and dancing rather than on my pain. I felt like Goldilocks because I was always trying a new combination of pads. I would sometimes change my padding combination in the middle of class because after 15-20 minutes, my big toe really hurt. But with the inserts, I feel like I have custom made shoes that were made just for me. Once I put them on, I don't have to think about my shoes again. I'm not in pain and class is so much more fun. My teacher asks as the class progresses "How are your feet?" Now, I can respond "Great!" even at the end of class. Thanks for making a great product. I will absolutely recommend it to my fellow pointe students."

Emily, 15
"With my old padding, my toes would start hurting only 10 mins into class, and after about 2 hours would become so painful that getting onto pointe was very difficult. With these inserts, I can go to a 4 hour rehearsal and dance with comfort and no pain. In addition, my little toe toenails would dig into the toe next to it and I would constantly have bleeding toes. Now, with the molding going between my toes, I don't have to worry about putting on tape or band aids. I haven't had one blister since I started using these as well. I will definitely continue to wear PerfectFit inserts. The best thing is how I can dance for a very long time and not have any pain, letting me focus on my technique rather than being distracted by the pain."
-
Mackenna, 17
"As a PD (Professional Division student) at Pacific Northwest Ballet the inserts have really helped me get through our long days in comfort! I began wearing them through 33 performance of the Nutcracker and believe it was a great decision. The inserts provide a release of pressure from the sides of my toes. They also give a sense of stability when balancing."
-
Serena, 12
"The inserts have made so much improvement in the comfort of dancing on pointe for me. The way it is molded to your feet makes it very comfortable. I think the best thing about them is that when I wear them I don’t have to think about pain, I can just focus on dancing. I will definitely keep wearing the inserts. They are way more comfortable than the Ouch Pouches."
-
Dawn, 22
"I think the best thing about them is: 1.) They fill in the negative space so my foot doesn’t slide and feels more secure inside the shoe. I feel like the moldable material essentially helps to create a better fit in the shoe. 2.) My big toe feels better. When I wear only the inserts, I feel less big toe pressure than when I wear my usual gel toe caps over my big toes. 3.) They are very easy and fast to put on… literally one step, not multiple (with spacers, toe caps, lambs wool, tape, etc.)."

Diane, mom of Mariah (12)
“I have to tell you that I am VERY impressed with this product. As a Mom of a dancer, I was always concerned about two things. The first thing was I didn't want Mariah’s dancing on pointe to ruin her feet, or give her injuries. The second thing is that I always worried that she would be in a lot of pain because Mariah has a very low pain threshold and I didn't want that to impede her technique in dancing on pointe. These two things have been solved by the revolutionary pointe shoe pads/toe support. Thank you for coming up with this idea! It is truly brilliant.”
-
Natasha, 16
"These inserts are exactly what I have been looking for. I have been trying since I started pointe to find something that didn't hurt my feet, but because of my tapered toes, I have had no luck. Now, I feel almost no pain (they take the pressure off of my big toes, and distribute it throughout my foot), I am more solid on my box, and I no longer wish that I didn't have feet when I take off my shoes. Thank you sooo much!”
-
Hannah, 15
"I will never go back to my old padding, unless my feet change for some reason. They have definitely helped me during pointe class. I also have more confidence using my pointe shoes now because my toes do not start hurting after only 5-7 minutes of class. Not only do they help my toes to not hurt, but they also help me a little bit with my knuckling toes."
-
Amelia, 19
"I would say that I felt an immediate difference when I began wearing the inserts. For the first three to four classes I felt no pain, during the class or after the class. This is a significant difference from before wearing the inserts when I would be in pain throughout the class and for several hours after the class had ended. I also love how springy they are when I do any kind of jumps or relevés."
-
Hanna, 15
"They are perfectly comfortable and have a great balance between being padded but my toes are still able to breathe and move around."
-
Samantha, 13
“These inserts make my feet happy! It makes me enjoy pointe class so much more than before. They are comfortable and they take the pressure off of my bunions and my big toe (my typical pressure points).”
-
Savannah, 11
“I love these inserts! So far I have never had significant pain or gotten blisters from wearing them. I will definitely continue to buy new sets of these as I need them. They are much more comfortable then my regular padding and reduce the pain on the side of my big toe. These are so much more convenient than my old padding. They are quicker, more comfortable, and with the integrated spacers I don't have to dig through my bag to find them every class!”
-
Ciera, 13
“The inserts get rid of pain in all the areas I was experiencing before, and they are much quicker to put on. My feet don't experience any pain after dancing on pointe… the inserts make dancing on pointe a more enjoyable experience! They also encourage my foot to work better. Since I’ve had them my arches have been strengthened, and I feel that I can get on my boxes more easily. Plus my padding isn't constantly sliding around!”
-
Annelise, 14
“I felt like because I pushed over my box and stretched my toes as I made them, it helped prevent me from sitting back on my box or curling my toes during classes. I liked how they kept me where I needed to be on my box. I felt very secure on pointe while wearing them.”
-
Monica, 16
"I wore the molded inserts all during summer classes and for auditions. I love them and wore them all the time! They were very comfortable and removed all of my “hot spots” and blisters that I had been getting since the June performance. The other reason why I like these inserts was because my foot (or rather toes) felt balanced and supported in the box of the shoe whether I was en pointe or just standing flat. I would say that the best thing about them is how they just make your toes and foot feel secure and balanced in the box of the shoe. With the Ouch Pouch, your toes are just flat and not supported in any way, but with these inserts, you have the support and balance. I really like this insert and I would love to continue wearing them in my shoes!!"
-
Cybelle, 17
“The inserts are comfortable, and they make my shoes feel so much better. I also feel like they do give a more ‘glove-like’ fit and they do live up to the name ‘PerfectFit.’ I tell all my friends at other studios about them. I like the personalization, the uniqueness, and the fact that we made them. They are not mass-produced like every other thing a dancer owns."
-
Ashlyn, 14
“These are working great for me! I am usually one of the first people to get my shoes on, because I have so many less steps to take to put on my shoes. They relieve pressure on my problem areas and overall are much more comfortable. I don't dread pointe work anymore! The best thing about them is that they fit exactly to my feet.”
-
Maria, 13
“I plan on continuing to wear the inserts because they're very comfortable (I haven't had any pain), and instead of me worrying about how much my foot hurts (like with my old padding), I can really focus on dancing. They also really helped with my auditions!"
