Ballerina's use what are called pointe shoes. They have a hard bottom and a hard sole which is called a shank. They put toe pads on the end of their toes which are made from wool or sometimes a gel material. It takes a lot of control, strength, and experience to do so.

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
