When I had leather toe caps on my pointe shoes, (I prefer to have the toes darned though) my dad used Ados F2 glue. The caps were cut to shape, and then stuck on. Make sure that the toe caps are the right size and shape for the toe of the shoe, because if they are to big and go over the sides onto the front of the block, it can look like you aren't en pointe properly.
I hope that this helps
