The Pro Pad™ is designed with no gel under the foot so the dancer has only thin fabric under her toes. This allows the dancer to feel the floor; the fitting of the shoe is less affected, and the foot remains cooler. A layer of gel inside a fabric covered pouch cushions the tops and the tips of the toes. As with all Bunheads products, the gel doesn’t migrate so pads won’t bottom out and the soft seams flatten on pointe. They are washable, reusable and can be cut to size.
