The nice thing about character shoes is that they take the pressure off your heels, which is one reason why it gets uncomfortable standing around in pointe shoes all day. The bad thing is that all your weight is on the balls of your feet, which causes a different kind of ouch. Since your weight is shifted and your body is lined up differently, everything feels physically off-kilter.
