There isn't a definition of pointe shoe because it is an English word. The real word that is french for "pointe shoe" is sur la pointe which means on top of pointe.

It is physically possible...BUT... do not do it. It can break toes, feet, and possibly mess up tendens and muscles in the process. It also hurts. If you want to go onto pointe then you need to buy a real pair of pointe shoes. They are usually cheaper online.

NO! DO NOT TRY THIS! This can break your feet. Demi pointe shoes are for demi pointe. Pointe shoes are for pointe.

ANSWER 2

Hi, Demi-pointe shoes are used so that you can experience the sensations of pointe shoes without going on pointe. THEY ARE NOT FOR GOING ON POINTE IN! If you are only wearing demi-pointe shoes then your instructor obviously does not feel you ankles are strong enough for pointe work yet. If you do this then you face the chance of never being able to go on pointe because you have damaged you feet.

So stick to demi pointe shoes for demi pointe and wait a while until your ankles are strong enough to go on pointe!

PS you should never go on pointe before you are 12 as research has shown that the joints etc. in your feet have not fully developed!
