If Gaynor Mindens never weaken or soften, how do I break them in?
Good news: you don’t. They are ready for dancing now. You must, however, be sure to select a shank that is flexible enough. Dancers who are accustomed to cardboard and paste shanks are usually concerned with finding a shoe that is hard because they know how rapidly conventional construction softens. Keep in mind that Gaynor Mindens will not break in and be sure you are satisfied with the roll-through and flexibility of the shoe when it is new. Ask about Supple, Feather Flex and Pianissimo shanks if you need a more flexible shoe.
