Ballet shoes are mainly two different forms. Slipper and pointe. A slipper is usually a thin, flexible fabirc with a sturdy by moveable sole. It is literally like a slipper, but more durable for dancing. A pointe shoes is often made of silk or satin, and has some laces on it that go around the foot and ankle. (Some laces can go up the calf, but not as commonly as just to above the ankle or so.) They have a firm material in the toe (I've used wool or wood, but there are also some other materials commonly used) and it is boxed out so that the dancer is able to stand up on her toes en pointe and be on a flat, level surface for balance. They are flexible, but do provide some firm support to the foot. Most ballet shoes come on white or pink or neutrals or pastel colors, but can be made or bought in almost any color desired. Jazz shoes tend to come in black, almost alsways as I have seen. They either slip over the foot with elastic along the sides of the foot to keep it secure, or go over the foot and lace up tightly. Most jazz shoes stop exactly at the crease of the abkle and the foot. Some have a very small heel to them, while others are pretty much completely flat. They are very closely fitted to the foot, and are made of a moveable fabric with a more durable sole for dancing on. For both shoes, it is important that they are fitted properly to provide the most comfort and support. Also, each is used for the specific type of dance that their name states.

Where can you buy jazz shoes?
You can get Jazz shoes all over, if your a person who has danced before and you know you shoe size for a ballet, jazz or tap shoe then you could easily buy online on... -eBay -amazon -zappos -discount dance But I would not advise buying jazz shoes online if you do not know you DANCE SHOE SIZE. Your regular shoe size can be much different from a dance shoe. For example I have a size 3 u.s but in jazz shoes I'm a size 6! Big difference! Any way sometime you can buy your dance shoes at your studio or at another studio (just call the studio and ask you never know!) another place you can get them is at (surprisingly) Pay less shoe store they have a small selection of ballet, tap and jazz shoes (only in black leather though). NOTE: By far my favorite dance shoe brand is Capezio Hope this helped!
