A History of Ballet Shoes

Women who love comfortable shoes know that ballet flats are a must-have! They are flat, comfortable to walk in and provide a very feminine and chic look!

How did ballet shoes come about? Let’s look at this together!

Ballet shoes are used in traditional or modern ballet. They are lightweight shoes (also called ballet slippers), designed for ballet dancing and are usually made from satin, canvas or leather with flexing and thin soles. Ballet shoes must fit the foot very closely to maintain safety and retain maximum of flexibility. They usually come in black, white or pink tones.

The quality and use of ballet flats vary according to the material used. The ones made of satin are usually worn for performances as they wear out the fastest. The canvas ones are less expensive and last longer compare to the satin ones. The leather ones are the most durable.

How are ballet flats secured onto the feet? They are secured with elastic bands or ribbons across the arch of the foot with single or two bands (ribbons).
