Abstract
The forefoot positions of nine ballet dancers standing on pointe were determined using a mold technique. These molds revealed three positions of the toes: (1) no crossing of the three medial toes; (2) crossing of the third toe behind the second; and (3) crossing of the hallux partially in front of the second. Almost half of all the toes seen on the molds had some deformation of the toenails. These molds also indicated a wide variability in the amount and location of contact between the shoes and toes.
