   Good question. I know that there are regular ballet shoes, then there are point. With point shoes their are so many different kinds.

   I am an experienced dancer so naming all the dance shoes would take forever, but I’ll try.

   foot undies
   foot thongs
   foot paws
   jazz open heeled
   jazz without laces
   jazz with laces
   tap high heeled
   tap low heeled

   Now the types of ballet shoes are:

   Angelo Luzio
   Art Stone
   Award
   Baryshnikov
   Bloch
   Capezio
   Danshuz
   Freed
   Gamba
   Grishko
   Leo’s
   Patterson’s
   Sansha

   Trust me, these are right. I even asked my dance teacher and she wrote them down for me.

   There are 2 main types of ballet shoes. There are the flat shoes also called ballet slippers. These can either be split-sole or full-sole. These are usually made in either leather or canvas. Then there are pointe shoes. These are also either split-sole or full-sole. Full sole pointe shoes are more common. These are usually satin. Pointe shoes also have differences in the way they are made, such as the vamp or shank. There are many brands of ballet shoes such as Capezio, Bloch, Leo’s, etc. This I know from more than half my life in ballet.
