There is a very specific reason that we didn't mention what shoe Josephine fit me in. (And she always abides by this rule). You have to find what shoe works for YOU. Often dancers get swayed by name brands- "So and so wears this shoe so I have to also!" "Well Kathryn Morgan got these shoes so I want them to." And it might be the COMPLETELY wrong shoe for you. So I am totally happy adhering to the rule! I would like to wear these for a few months first. If I stick with them, I will probably let you guys know what they are! :)

Are other non ballet dancers fascinated by these shoe fitting videos? I think they're so interesting.

Honestly Josephine is just absolutely the BEST pointe shoe fitter in the world. I am based in Australia and my daughter has struggled to find pointe shoes to suit her hypermobility and wide feet. At the end of the road and with the possibility of my daughter stopping her love of ballet because we could not find the right shoe we found out about Josephine's virtual fittings. In just one appointment she was able to give us the details of the shoe to suit my daughter. Upon trying on the shoe she has never looked back and has danced better than ever before. Josephine is soooooo good at what she does she managed to nail the right shoe and drive her car at the same freakin time. We can't love or thank her enough. Amazing.

My mother was a ballerina, I danced as a child. In my 60s now, Mom is long gone, watching these videos is like hanging out with Mom for 10 minutes.

I just recently did a virtual fitting with Josephine and it was the same magical experience!! Mid-20s lifelong ballet student, ~14 years en pointe with ~1.5yr break between my late teens and "starting over" as an adult dancer. Never had a shoe I "loved" besides maybe gaynors as a teen. Josephine read me like a book over zoom in 15 mins and same thing, the shoes she put me in made my feet actually look pretty!! I wore them for the first time for 2 straight hrs of class and felt like I could go all day when I was used to limping around in pain after barely 1.5 hrs. Such a difference, I was slightly skeptical of a virtual fitting but can highly recommend her virtual appointments!!

I sincerely wonder if 22 years in slightly misfitting shoes is what led to her ankle injuries? She said her foot had never been able to go up en pointe quite like that before. The improvements in information and technology are really helping in so many lives across many disciplines.

if you had told 16 year old me that I would get to edit & create content with THE Kathryn Morgan, I wouldnโt have believed you. This was so fun to work on & such a dream collab. Thank you, Kathryn!!! ๐โค๏ธ

Watching this has taught me that<br><br><br>- some people's bad feet look WAAAAYYY better than my good feet.<br>- I should possibly stop blaming my pointe shoe for not being able to do certain steps (my left foot hates me though I swear)<br>- I am apparently the type of person that would consider a 14000km trip to get fitted in pointe shoes
