Most people who make loud tap sounds get their shoes scratched up about two weeks after using their shoes for the first time.
Many dancers use lamb's wool to cushion their toes in pointe shoes. Some dancers use gel toe pads, also. However some do not.
There are many male dancers en pointe like in "The Hard Nut" which is a modern version of the Nutcracker with maily male dancers who are en pointe.
Median hourly earnings of dancers were $9.55 in May 2006. The middle 50 percent earned between $7.31 and $17.50. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $6.62, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $25.75. Annual earnings data for dancers were not available, because of the wide variation in the number of hours worked by dancers and the short-term nature of many jobs-which may last for 1 day or 1 week-make it rare for dancers to have guaranteed employment that exceeds a few months.<http://www.bls.gov/oco/ocos094.htm>

In class/lessons you would most likely wear a leotard with ballet-pink stockings and ballet slippers or pointe shoes. If you were performing you would wear a tutu with stockings and Pointe shoes. You don't always wear pointe shoes, sometimes you wear ballet shoes/slippers.
Pointe shoes (aka toe shoes) are shoes that we ballerinas wear to enhance our performance. The shoes give the illusion that we are on our toes, while in reality the shoes are supporting our weight and our toes are being cushioned by padding.Pointe shoes are not comfortable, though, and many blisters, bunions, and foot injuries come from dancing "en Pointe." To be able to dance on Pointe you must have had several years of dance and very strong ankles."Pointe shoes are shoes that have a box and shank that wrap around the foot and toes to support dancers in going up on their toes to dance. You also have many parts to pointe shoes and what they are called." -jessicamariie
