Can a vegetarian still be considered a vegetarian and wear ballet slippers?

I've been a vegetarian for more than a year and I just realized (dumb, I know) that my ballet slippers (their not pointe shoes) are made with leather. Can I still be considered a vegetarian if I keep wearing them? I'm quite serious about being a ballerina and a vegetarian. So there's my dilema. Thanks.

EDIT: I think I wrote the question wrong. I meant to ask what you would do, your opinions. Sorry.

Also, canvas shoes wouldn't work because I do competitions and ballet exams, so canvas shoes would be unnacceptable.

You can still be a vegetarian as long as you don't eat your ballet slippers.
