There is no definite answer to this question but there has been many improvements to the pointe shoe. It started out as satin slippers that were darned at the sides and toes. They would attach wires to the dancers lifing them off there feet and possibly moving them around stage. After the aid of wires dancers like Marie Taglioni would dance using the support of her feet and ankles. Then the person who invented the modern pointe shoe is Anna Pavlova. She was very skinny and had very high arches. She had high risk of injury. Because of that she inserted toughened leathers insoles to the toes of her pointe shoes. She would form a box to form her feet making it easier to balance and to dance on the tip of your toes.
