There's no age (unless you dance school specifically says so, which is not likely). It should have to do with how strong you are.
It does not have a special name but the shoes are called point shoes
Marie Taglioni
It isn't rude because the people who point at your shoes are rather jealous of your shoes or don't want to point at your face like if they say NOW TELL ME WHERE DID SHE GO! And they point at your feet its just plain weird sometimes!
When you get your pointe shoes depends on when your feet have matured enough. This does not usually happen before age twelve. Also, your muscles have to be strong enough to support you when your body is balancing just on your toes. The average age for getting pointe shoes is around 12.
