Jet Glue
Jet Glue - Pointe-Shoe Hardener
To strengthen and extend the life of your shoes, apply Jet Glue to the outside and inside of the shoe-box, on either side of the shank (inside and outside), under the shank, and to the pleats and seams. Allow to dry completely before wearing the treated shoes. A little goes a long way!

Warning! This is a cyanoacrylate 'super-glue' type adhesive. It will bond skin instantly - be very careful when applying this product. Do NOT wear shoes until glue is completely dry! Use only in a well-ventilated space, avoid prolonged breathing of the vapors.

Lacquer Sizing
Lacquer Sizing - Pointe-Shoe Hardener
Pointe shoes 'break-down' because of moisture - aka sweat. Just spray Lacquer Sizing inside the shoe-box to create a moisture barrier between your foot and the shoe to help retard the normal softening and deterioration of the pointe shoe box. Allow to dry completely before wearing the treated shoes.
