These ballet shoes look and feel like regular pointe shoes but they don't have a shank. That means that a dancer should not go on pointe, because they do not have proper support as pointe shoes. As a rule, teachers advise their students to wear demi pointe shoes in order to acquaint dancers with the feel of pointe shoes. Pre-pointe shoes, as they are also called, are a softer and more comfortable version of pointe shoes. 7, record 1, English, - demi%20pointe%20shoe
