Leather ballet shoes, with feet shown in fifth position. A ballet shoe, or ballet slipper, is a lightweight shoe designed specifically for ballet dancing. It may be made from soft leather, canvas, or satin, and has flexible, thin full or split soles. Traditionally, women wear pink shoes and men wear white or black shoes.
In 1887, Salvatore Capezio, an Italian cobbler emigrated to the United States, opened a shoe repair shop near the old Metropolitan Opera House in New York City.

LONDON — Some of London’s best-known designers have put a signature spin on a series of ballet slippers as part of a monthlong summer festival that will launch on July 10 in Covent Garden.
Nothing in pointe shoe design prevents a foot’s "slippage", in which, when en pointe, the dancer’s weight forces their foot down into the shoe until their big toe meets the end of the toe box. Measurements have shown that most of the dancer's weight en pointe is borne by the big toe(s) regardless of the length of the second toe.
Leg warmers can vary in length, and in width, due to the material's stretchiness. They are commonly worn between the ankle to just below the knee, though many dancers prefer it to extend to cover the lower parts of the thigh. Some cover the entire foot—these "warmers" usually have a pad that grips the floor so the dancer does not slip.
Ballet Slipper Drawing. Michele Savino was a Broadway-based shoemaker and designer of ballet slippers. His clientele included the famed dancer Marilyn Miller, for whom he designed pointe shoes.
