On its publication, Ballet Shoes received universal praise from the critics, and the first edition sold out quickly. In Beyond the Vicarage (1971: 92), Noel tells of trying to buy copies for friends who were demanding them.

Elastic on the ballet shoes should be sewn on the same way as on pointe shoes. While some people will just sew the elastic straight across the top of the foot, this does little to hold the shoe on properly. One way to sew on the elastics is to first fold down the heel of the shoe and flatten it out. Trace the seam the fold makes from the inside of the shoe. It should be a semi-circle. Use this as a guide to sewing on your elastic.

Ballet shoes are typically available in pink, black, gray, or white. Women wear pink and men wear white, traditionally. Flesh/tan coloured shoes are worn by both men and women, especially to give the appearance of being barefoot.
