Charles Didelot invented the first ballet shoes in the late 1700s.
Yes. In fact, ballet is the reason pointe shoes were invented.
Ballet shoes were invented in Italy during the 15th century as part of the early development of ballet. They became more refined in France, where ballet gained popularity at the royal court. The shoes evolved over the years, transitioning from soft slippers to the distinctive pointe shoes used in modern ballet.

Louis the 14 began ballet in his court then it spread world wide and pointe shoes were invented. :(

Ballet shoes are either slippers for practising or pointe shoes. Which, after a girl goes through pre-pointe possibly for one year, they can get pointe shoes then perform pointe! Guys do where ballet slippers but they do not go on pointe
Flat ballet shoes were invented first in the 1700's and pointe shoes were later made by the famous dancer Marie Taglioni' father, who wanted to make her a better dancer. Marie was not the first to wear them, but she was the first to use them as technique.
1587
They were made by Marie Taglioni, the first ballerina to dance on her toes.
If you must, but seventh year of ballet is better imo.
If you do tap, tap shoes. If you do ballet, ballet flats.
