Pointe - Before and After 4

In this photo series I have endeavored to show the difference between a brand new, unworn pair of pointe shoes, and an older, well-loved dirty pair. The new pair I just bought a couple of days ago, and haven't worn, and the old pair I have had for well over a year. They lasted far longer than they usually do! They're not my most worn-out pair, but they worked best for this series. I'm aware that the shoes are not the same model (or size!). The old pair are Bloch Sonata's, size 7 and 1/2 B, and the new pair are Bloch Balance European's, size 8 and 1/2 X. Please let me know your opinions of these photos, and any ways that I could have done it better. Thanks so much!
While I own these individual pairs of shoes, I do not own Bloch.
