Regular ballet flats are just, very soft. They're usually canvas, or leather. You can't go up en pointe with them. Pointe shoes are normally a bit harder so that you can get up on your toes.

Warm up, stretch out and get ready for the CBeebies Ballet Little Red Riding Hood with Nigel and the Woodland Keepers. Stretch your leg out in front of you, point your toes and tap them on the floor.
