Yes they are called Pointe shoes and the front has a "box" so that dancers can dance en pointe, the box is made with either fabric and paper or rubber and plastic. You need very strong ankles and feet though or you will break your toes and possibly your ankle!
Behind every great man is an even greater woman. She carried you, raised you and made you who you are.
