Yes they do. If you go to a dance shop, you can buy a bag of two, one for each shoe. Some ballet shoes already have an end to them though. But you can buy them in a dance shop where they do not sell their shoes like this
Flat ballet shoes were invented first in the 1700's and pointe shoes were later made by the famous dancer Marie Taglioni' father, who wanted to make her a better dancer. Marie was not the first to wear them, but she was the first to use them as technique.
Honestly you can't. I have a small mark on my point shoes from when I was sewing my riboons on. The only suggestion I have is soap and water. That should make the color fade a little bit
To keep thier toes healthy and to make pointing the foot outwards more comfortable. Pointe ballet dancers have to wear them so they can point on the very tip of thier toe.
I suggest that you try doing a compare/contrast exercise - make a table where down one side you have ballet & down the other you have modern dance - then look at key features, e.g. - footwear - modern dancers = usually barefoot, ballet = pointe shoes for females, ballet shoes for males. You should consider features such as music, themes, costume, use of props, set design, location of performance, gender, roles.... Hope this helps
