舞者在 sur les pointes（脚尖上）跳舞时所穿的缎面芭蕾舞鞋。首位以脚尖立起舞闻名的首席芭蕾女演员玛丽·塔廖尼（Marie Taglioni）的舞鞋没有加硬鞋箱，而是用棉絮填充的。后来（约 1862 年），芭蕾舞鞋的鞋头用胶水加硬（做箱，blocked）并加以缝线加固，为舞者提供额外的支撑。如今，足尖鞋的鞋头由夹在多层材料之间、数层强力胶水构成的“鞋箱”（box）加固。职业舞者通常会在足尖鞋的鞋头织补缝线（darn），以获得鞋面更好的抓地力，从而防止打滑。

The satin ballet shoes used by dancers when dancing sur les pointes. The ballet shoes of Marie Taglioni, the first major ballerina to dance on her points, were not blocked but were padded with cotton wool. Later (about 1862) the toes of the ballet slippers were stiffened (blocked) with glue and darned to give the dancer additional support. Today the toes of pointe shoes are reinforced with a box constructed of several layers of strong glue in between layers of material. Professional dancers usually darn the tip of the pointe shoe to obtain a better grip of the shoe on the floor and thus prevent slipping.
