Some stores have people who will have you try on many different pairs of pointe shoes to find the best pair for you. There isn't really a certain kind.
i can rcommend the grishko 2007 pointe shoes. they work very well for all kinds of feet.
I would always recommend Freed. Freed Studios are great for class, they help develop strong feet. If you can't get all the way over, you need to do some feet strengthening exercises. Also stretch your arches. Look into 3/4 shank shoes for performances.

You are never 'too heavy' for pointe. This is because you are keeping yourself up there not the shoes. The shoes help but the main thing is to have strength in your calfs and thighs as well as the ability to use the core of your body. If you can do this then you can do pointe. The best thing to do is to ask your ballet instructor if she/he thinks you are ready.
When you are wearing a Russian pointe shoe, they spring up onto pointe, theres not much "going through demi pointe"... I would say, strong ankles are needed, when you spring up onto pointe, without breaking an ankle... Russian pointes come in all different sizes, widths, vamps, crowns, and you can get some that are harder, or softer, depending on your feet and comfort. Just so you know, everyone is different, and you cant choose which brand of pointes you want, because they may not be the best for your feet... I have had sansha's legende's, and they were retarded for me.. then I tried some of BLOCH's European Balance's, and they worked great! I still have them, and they really bring out my arches, but some people hate BLOCH's. It depends, what you feel comfortable in, and what suits your feet.. Addition to answer by Russian Pointe, Inc.: Actually, Russian Pointes are made for ALL feet! We have over 2000 options in your shoe size alone, to be able to find the perfect size, width, vamp and shank for your foot shape and strength. If you are wanting a shoe that has an easier roll through demi, I suggest our flexible shank options, which feature a cutout design at the ball of the foot, specifically to enhance demi-pointe and roll-through.

No. For pointe work you need to build strong arches with a full-sole. Split-soles are best used only for professionals and performances.

There is no "best" pointe shoe. Pointe shoes have to do with how ones foot is shaped, and since everyone is different, people need different types of shoes. There are tons of brands of shoes, and tons of different sizes for each type. So, try all different types of pointe shoes, see which ones you like.
The best shoes are ones specifically made for fallen arches, such as Men's Propet Stability Walker shoes.
