Is it normal for my Alphas to fit very snug on my toes and ball of the foot?

Yes, the Alpha design is meant to have light compression in the toes. It does not restrict movement but is intended to be snug to hug to every curve of your feet and toes to truly show off your feet when you dance or for customers that do not like floppy socks. However, if you feel the fit is too snug, it is pulling your toes back to curl when standing and the energy absorption line does NOT come below the ball of your foot…you may be in too small of an Alpha. Please do not dance in them, just try them on to determine fit and contact info@apollaperformance.com for exchange information.
