Give smaller toes a little extra care with Tendu Tiny Toe Tubes. These flexible sleeves slip over individual toes to cushion the knuckles and help reduce rubbing inside your pointe shoes. Open at both ends, they leave the toe tips uncovered while keeping protection focused where you need it.

Best For: Smaller toes • Knuckle cushioning • Targeted pointe shoe padding

Why You’ll Love Tendu Tiny Toe Tubes

• Individual protection: Add cushioning around a toe knuckle without covering the whole forefoot.
• Flexible slip-on shape: Gently slide each sleeve into position where extra protection is needed.
• Open-ended design: Leaves the toe tip uncovered.
• Washable and reusable: Clean between wears and keep ready for your next class.

Tendu Toe Tubes – Placement & Pointe Shoe Fit

Use a tube only on the toes that need the extra layer. Check that each sleeve sits smoothly and your toes remain comfortably lengthened. If you also wear toe pads, have your fitter assess the combination, as extra padding changes the space inside your shoe.

Dance World Tip: Bring your usual toe tubes and toe pads to your next pointe fitting so you can try shoes with the padding you actually wear.

Material: Flexible gel
Appearance: Clear/translucent
Construction: Individual tubes, open at both ends
Coverage: Around the toe knuckle, with the toe tip left open

Designed for the smaller toes, rather than the big toe. These are individual open-ended sleeves for local coverage around a toe knuckle.

• Use only the tubes you need. Ask your fitter to check the complete setup if adding them makes the shoe feel tight or changes how it fits.

Hand wash with mild detergent, as directed on the packaging. Rinse thoroughly and allow the tubes to air dry completely before wearing or storing them. Keep dry tubes together in a clean pouch, away from sharp sewing tools. Check for tears or damaged edges before each use.
