I have just bought a pair of gaynor minden pointe shoes as alot of people in my classes have found they last a lot longer. But the drawstring elastic comes out at the side of the shoe where I would normally attach ribbons where shall I place them is there a special place if the drawsring is at the side as I will need to tuck the elastic in?

Haz - I'm not familiar with Gaynor Mindens but if a lot of people in your class have them possibly have a look or ask them how they have attached their ribbons.

Also ask at the shop you bought them.
