Pointe shoes are quite expensive. They can reach from $50 up to $130. I am a dancer/ballerina myself and mine is $115😅 But it is worth it considering the excitement you feel when you get your pointe shoes (especially your first ones). But remember, you have to get permission from your Ballet teacher/coach to go on pointe as pointework is pretty dangerous for inexperienced dancers and dancers with weak ankles.
