[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Long time parent with dancing daughter. Put on new slippers, yank elastic to tighten, tie in a square knot - at least I think that is what it is called. You make the first part of when you tie shoe laces, then do it again going the opposite direction. Then your knot won't come undone. Snip long ends to about 1/2 - 3/4 inch and have them tuck under if poking out after putting on shoes.[/quote] Good advice, but careful with "yanking" the elastic. If the elastic is tied too tight, it can put excess pressure on the achilles tendon. I would recommend putting your thumb back by the heel when you pull the elastic, to make sure that it doesn't get too tight. This comes in handy especially when their feet start growing...[/quote]
