If worn and used properly then they shouldn't. When you do pointe for the first times you might get blisters and your feet will hurt, but there shouldn't be any permanant damage.

What do pointe shoes really do to you?
Practising pointe strengthens the ankles and legs, and also improves flexibility in your insteps (the front of the ankle). Dancing in shoes can inevitably cause rubbing, usually causing blisters on area such as the toe joints, but this will depend on your shoes, the shape of your feet and the padding you use. The pressure can also damage toenails, though it all really depends on the insensitivity of your training and the fit of your shoes. Learning pointe from a young age can influence the growth of the feet. Injuries are likely if dancing on pointe, especially is tired. The risk can be minimised with responsible training and learning to pace yourself.
