It's possible to dance Ballet without soft ballet shoes. You will see dancers in contemporary companies dance without shoes all the time!
Soft leather, satin or canvas ballet shoes are worn mainly due to tradition, although there's some evidence wearing a shoe helps hold the muscles and bones of the foot in place, and reduces the risk of injury. However, you'll see contemporary dancers doing identical moves either in bare feet or in fabric/elastic foot covers called "dance paws".
For women, though, pointe shoes are essential as it's impossible to dance on the tips of the toes without them. They are specially strengthened to hold the foot in an upright position and spread the weight of the body across the foot instead of directly on to the toes.
