toe tip
Dancer's elevated position
The toe tip is the foremost point of a shoe, boot, or foot—the part that touches first when you stub your toe or test bathwater.
In dance, especially ballet, performers rise onto their toe tips (en pointe) for a distinctive aesthetic.
The phrase can also describe the very end of any toe-shaped object: the toe tip of Italy's boot.
