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.
Im not too sure about ballet flats, but pointe shoes used to be like a ballet flat, and very flimsy. The Italians hardened the pointe shoes. That's all I know.. I believe it was specifically Maire Taglioni, an Italian ballet dancer, that is attributed with starting to to harden the shoes at the point and danced on her toes.
The first ballet flat design was produced in the 16th century. Men wore similar shoes back then too, called pompes. They have come back in fashion and are often designed for outdoor use, referred to ballet pumps, as well as dancing.
Ballet flat shoes are made out of either soft leather or canvas. The box of point/toe shoes is made of layers of fabric and glue, which is then covered by satin.

The person who created the ballet flat in dance was Marie Anne de Cupis de Camargo. She decided that women needed to stop dancing in their heels so she created the traditional ballet slipper. If you are talking about ballets flats as in regular shoes i have no clue. Sorry if this does not answer your question.
Do you mean pointe shoes or flat shoes?

these are called pointe shoes and you should get them when your teacher says that you are ready...you can get them at any dance store that sells ballet shoes, and i would recommend using Suffolk or Blochs.

Yes and no. Ballet is a form of art. However, typically when a class is titled ballet it is the art on flat. Pointe is the art wearing pointe shoes, which are shoes that enable the dancer to dance on the very top of her toes.
"Flat" shoes which are made out of leather or canvas, these are not the shoes you wear to stand on your toes, and then there wre Pointe, or toe shoes which are used to dance on your toes.
I would recommend a ballet flat or a wedge
