Pillows For Pointes take on a classic pointe staple, suitable for use in any style of shoe! One of the easiest and most effective ways to protect corns, calluses, and blisters from further friction.

Each package includes 3 sheets of moleskin, measuring 3"x 4".

A non-toxic spray adhesive that is the favorite refresher of traction for all of our Apolla Shocks. The original traction that the Shocks come with starts out sticky and you wear it down to your preferred level of grip. You then keep it there by using a traction refresher. This is Apolla's recommendation. It is a pump spray and when you apply 5-10 pumps to your traction, it dries instantly, and does not damage floors. It helps to "re-stick" the grip over and over for the life of the Shocks. Some dancers start refreshing in the first class, some never refresh, some refresh when needed - it is completely personalized to your need and floors. Your traction will wear down to nothing over time if you don't use a refresher, so make sure to order a bottle to keep in your dance bag! One bottle lasts a long time!
