Most of the time, yet. But there are tights which are totally without feet. Baseball, football players and wrestlers wear them. Those that do Yoga and Pilates wear them. Usually it's the woman who wears convertible tights as it's easier to put on toe-pads, toe-tape or tend to her feet--and since women are the ones who do Pointe, they damn-well need them. She can also nurse them when blisters, bleeding and bruising occur. Tights can come with or without feet. One can even wear a full-body spandex body-stocking in ballet.
Wear what you need to!
