There are two main types of ballet shoes: soft ballet shoes and pointed shoes. According to the degree of professionalism and comfort, these two kinds of shoes can be divided into a variety of shoe types and shoes. Let me introduce the main ballet shoes for you.
Soft soled ballet shoes
Soft-soled ballet shoes are the first pair of ballet shoes owned by every ballet dancer and will always exist with her dance career. Soft-soled ballet shoes are usually made of leather, but some are made of canvas or satin. Soft-soled ballet shoes can make dancers' feet more comfortable and help dancers practice their skills better in class. Soft soled ballet shoes are very comfortable and can be worn for a long time. Soft ballet shoes have complete leather soles (mostly for infants, children and beginners), sometimes we call them? Split the sole? The sole of the foot is separated from the heel by a leather sole. This will make your toes stand more comfortable.
Pointed shoes
Pointe shoes or toe shoes in English are made of hard materials and used to support feet. The forefoot and heel support the arch. A part of the top of a shoe, the toe cap, is made of hard material to support the toes and soles of the feet. Suitable pointed shoes are very important for dancers' performances. Before wearing pointed shoes, it is usually necessary to break the shoes to make them more comfortable and fit.
Soft-soled ballet shoes run through the ballet dancer's whole career. Only more professional dancers can use pointed shoes, but you still need to wear soft-soled ballet shoes for strength training classes.
