The vamp of a ballet or pointe shoe is the very end of the shoe. Not the tip, but the part that covers your toes. Getting the right sized vamp for the length of your toes is very important when fitting pointe shoes.
To answer your question, the difference between the classic ballet shoe and a pointe shoe is their overall apperance. As you may see (if you have seen them) a standard ballet shoe is rounded, and used by dancers that are trying to achieve stronger muscles in there feet. A pointe shoe has a flat tip so you are able to stand on your "tippy toes", these shoes are for dancers, who have proved they have good arch support,and muscle ability. Hope that helped!
It is made of the same thing as the shank which is generally glue and wood but there is not much wood in the top of the shoe
you can tell when a pointe shoe is dead is when the tip starts to rip, and the bottom starts to turn really black!!
It means to go on pointe shoes or tip-toes.
