a ballet student should use padding in pointe shoes

There's a amount of ongoing arguments if a ballet student should use padding in pointe shoes, to prevent pointe shoe pain. Some students are not allowed to, though they're permitted to use tape. Some point out that professional dancers do not use padding in their pointe chaussure de foot pas cher shoes - although that is certainly not 100% correct.
Some argue that students won't get stronger when they use pads for support. Well, pads impulse support at all, they give a cushion from the abrasion and pressure from the toe shoes. So strength has nothing to do with it.
If a student is really prepared to dance on pointe, padding and tape do not have anything related to supporting the posture of the toes. I don't really know where these ideas come from. If the toes already are sufficiently strong, from good training and enough pointe shoe exercise, there will be less abrasion against the interior from the shoe. However, if a student cannot get the perfect fit in their toe shoes, they may need padding.
Personally, i know a global famous ballerina who, well into her career increased her point shoe size to ensure that she could add padding. She became aware that she had been programmed by her schooling to put track of a ridiculous amount of pain, which her shoes were too short. She didn't have an issue "feeling the floor" or with ballet foot control.
Toe shoes are designed so that you don't "feel the floor". Without having control in a ballet shoe with pads, your control is barely there anyway. And don't forget that professional dancers get their hypervenom pas cher shoes custom made for them, therefore the need for tape and padding is much more in accordance with short term situations like a minor injury.
Ballet foot control comes from strength in the soles of the feet. The large toe muscles, the forefoot, the arch muscles, all need special exercises to provide them strength and good reflexes.
The form Of The Foot And Pointe Shoes
There are specific reasons why pointe shoes give blisters. Despite custom-made shoes, every now and then a shoe will not have the same. They're made by hand, mostly, and can have tiny flaws. A dancer may be experiencing a stressful rehearsal period, and doing the very same movements at an intense rate. This can bring wear and tear on the feet in different ways.
A "compressible" foot inside a square-shaped shoe will move about within the shoe when you rise onto pointe. Such a foot must have a far more tapered shoe, but be mindful that it's actually not too narrow or too short for a demi plie in second without the toes crushing.
I think that students, within their first pointe shoes, should try to do basic exercises without tape or padding. Not as torture, but because a short experiment to determine the way the shoes feel. Then they should quickly remove the shoes, see where the red spots are, and become shown through the teacher exactly how to tape those spots.
Lambs wool is a good padding since you can use the exact amount you'll need. It also moves and slides in the shoe, diminishing the friction. Tape may be required too.
But when in a while heavy padding may be needed. I remember once when I tried another brand of pointe mercurial superfly pas cher shoe. They felt great for about fifteen minutes. The shoe was more difficult than I had been used to, and that i knew I was going to have to discard them (yeah right, at the expense of pointe shoes), or wear padding till those shoes were done. I used huge slice of foam till those shoes were toast.
I had a lot more control without that terrible pain!
I do not understand any dance academy having blanket policies about this. It is the teacher's responsibility to help each student find out why a pair of pointe shoes hurts badly that padding is required. And it still may be needed, depending on the fit and toe shapes.
