FAQ's

 

For maximum results, we suggest pouring enough shellac into the box of the shoe to fully cover the sides of the box, tip and crown of the pointe shoe. Swirl the shellac inside your shoe to avoid pooling at the tip and use the wand to spread the shellac over the entire inside of the box evenly. Use the wand to shellac the shank of your shoe. 

Continue to use the pour-in method for the life of your shoe or for soft spot touch ups and quick maintenance, use the wand to apply the shellac to specific areas.

How long does Pointe Shoe Shellac take to dry?

With the pour-in method, the shoes will be dry in approximately 20 minutes, but for best results allow for 12 to 24 hours. 

If you are only using the wand for touch ups, pointe shoes can be dry in as little as eight minutes. Make sure that your shoes are completely dry before use.

The Pointe Shoe Shellac has separated, is this normal?

Yes! Just give it a good shake before you use it!

Where do I put the Pointe Shoe Shellac on my shoes?

It's recommended that you put the shellac inside the box of your shoes. You can also shellac the tip as long as your pointe shoe does not contain a sponge pad in the box. The shellac can also be used on and around your shank if you're needing more arch or metatarsal support. 

How often should I shellac my shoes?

It depends how often you dance on pointe and how quickly your shoes die. You can shellac your shoes whenever you're feeling that you're needing more support.
