If you are talking about pointe shoes than, yes some men do wear them.
I assume you mean "toe shoes." "Pointe shoes." And yes. As for the official female costumes... well, sometimes the men do drag and dance the full-blown ballerina roles. The men walk a mile in their Pointe shoes. Some women find it touching, flattering. Some ballerinas worry the men are making them obsolete. Really! But... yes, this does happen.
