Ballet shoes are lightweight shoes designed specifically for ballet
dancing. They are made from soft leather or canvas, and have flexible,
thin soles. Ballet shoes are typically available in pink, black, gray,
or white. Traditionally, women wear pink shoes and men wear white,
while flesh or tan colored shoes which are unobtrusive and thus give
the appearance of dancing barefoot are worn by both men and women.
