Doesn't bug me all that much. It's not like they are saying, "ballet slippers" when they are pointe shoes.
In reality, we are dancing on our toes anyway. Not that big a deal to me, but I see where you are coming from. smile

Actually, that's considered another name for pointe shoes. I know ballet teachers who solely refer to them as toe shoes. It depends on their background.
