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.
Charles Didelot invented the first ballet shoes in the late 1700s.
Yes. In fact, ballet is the reason pointe shoes were invented.

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.

If you do tap, tap shoes. If you do ballet, ballet flats.
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.
