YES! But his daughter, Marie Taglioni, took credit. She was credited with this major feat because of her fame from La Sylphide. There have been earlier records of "Pointe Shoes", but really, they were only leather enforced ballet slippers. Dancers were put on wires that made them appear on pointe. Some were even strong enough to hold them selves up for a quick pose, but nothing more.
