11/24/2012These lasted me 3 years! I was in love.. until i forgot them one day because they had been in the washer. I borrowed my friends gel ones and when i stepped up to pointe it felt so good! I had never tried a different kind of toe saver so i didn't know how much pointe was supposed to hurt. I asked my friend about her gel ones and she said they don't last to long, only 6 months or so ( which is still good... it just doesn't hold a candle to three years). Now I use the gel ones because they are comfortable. If you do get these, i like to put baby powder or spray on them so they don't smell so bad!

11/12/2012I've had these for just over three years, and I'll admit they're pretty good toe pads. About six months ago I realized I was wearing them down, but people kept telling me toe pads should never need to be replaced, so I didn't do anything about it. Lately my feet have been in excruciating pain when en pointe, so I'm buying new ones. But not ouch-pouches. They're very thin, which I personally don't like. Also, my toes kind of arch up at the end, which may be the cause of my pain, but the ouch pouches don't provide enough padding for me. I've been dancing en pointe for about three and a half years, I wear Aspirations, I'm fifteen, street shoe size 8 1/2 to 9. (I only wouldn't recommend them to a friend because of my poor experience with them in the end of their life, they were fine for the first year to year and a half.)

10/10/2012These pads are very good for beginners they're the one's I started out with. I actually still use them. They do the job and keep your toes protected. But sometimes my pinky toes hurt and they don't really help. Also they smell a lot!

08/23/2012I have a wider left foot so I got the large. When I tried them on in my pointe shoes, it was WAY too crouded in my shoe. The heel was digging into my heel so bad because there was just no room.

10/03/2010These are a life saver! When you�re on Pointe you can still feel the floor but be blister free at the same time. I've always had trouble with blisters until I got these. They don't make your feet sweat either the fabrics breathable but not too thick or too thin. Get these you'll never hurt again!!!!!

Mississippi,These are great! They're thinner than the original ouch pouch, yet still provide enough cushioning. I can feel the floor and it's GREAT! They also come up higher on the sides so they cover my pinky toe, unlike the original which didn't. Thanks Bunheads!!!

California,These were great. I love how they're cushioning, you can feel the floor, and best of all, how you can wash them. But there is one catch...be careful not to have long toenails when you wear them. I wore them for a couple 1 hour classes with long toenails and my toenail tore through them! This problem is easily solved by switching which feet the pad is on. If you develop blisters on your pinky-toe or irritation on your big toe like me, it helps to put some toe tape (I use the orange squishy type) on those toes. I wear size 7 street shoes, and the toe pad size is perfect for my foot.

11/27/2008These are wonderful! This is my third year and I have gone through 2 pairs. The only bad thing is that now that I am on pointe more often. They give me blisters on my pinky toes but that's what tape is for!

11/16/2008I love these, they are less bulky than the original Ouch Pouch but provide the same amount of comfort.

09/19/2008I love these pads! They work very well! You just have to remember that they will be a little big, so if you are ordering pointe shoes, then make them a little big. Overall, great!

02/20/2008The reason I rate it 4 stars is that the seams really hurt as you dance. I would recommend seamless toepads for dancers on pointe.

01/24/2008I need to thank these again. Sometimes when I am dancing for a longer period of time, I put another set of skinny toe pads over them before I put my shoes on. These are great and vesatile!!!

10/24/2007These were my first toe pads and they were pretty good but they caused my pinkie toes to get tons of blisters.
They are OK but there are better things out there.
