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.

Why do male ballet dancers not have to perform 'en pointe' like female dancers do?
Boy dancers do not practice en pointe. It was made for women. It is more feminine. Male dancers do more jumps with beats in them.
Are male ballet dancers gay?
No. are female cops lesbians? No please don't be stereotyping people..
Do male ballet dancers go on point?
I think that male ballet dancers CAN go on point. I know that females can. So why not men?
Is it true that all ballet dancers are womens?
No its not true at all. There are many famous male ballet dancers.
If a female is a ballerina what is a male ballet dancer called?
The term "danseur" is a French term meaning "male ballet dancer." Just as "danseuse" is the female equivalent. And the term "ballerina" actually is an Italian phrase for the PRINCIPAL female ballet dancer. But it has since been used by now to label ANY female taking ballet. Still, just as "ballerina" is a female ballet dancer--"ballerino" is the male equivalent in Italian.
