Answers:
Pointe shoes do not last a year.. At least they should not if you are putting them on every day to practice besides attending class.. also pointe shoes come in a million different shapes, styles widths etc.. also, not every dancer has the proper foot for pointe.. Those with longer toes will find it very difficult.. Those with short even toes will have an easier time.. As far as there being room in your shoe, there should not be any ! They should fit like a second skin.. Never wear a pointe shoe with room to grow, ever ! Be very particular when trying on and purchasing a pointe shoe.. They are not as generic as a tap shoe or jazz shoe etc..Health Question & Answer
umm if theyre already broken in, then its possible that you need new ones.. if theyre not wait a month and try to break them in..Health Question & Answer
