example 1

[0055] Example 1. "Original C-Shoe"

[0056] Note that all examples are available in a range of sizes and styles for both men and women. The shoe is usually provided as a pair, but for simplicity in this specification the shoe is referred to in the singular.

[0057] Studying in detail the first example (see the five parts of Figure 1 ), in which the dancer is in a standing position with flat feet, Figure 1a shows the sample shoe 100 in use, as seen from the middle side. The dancer's foot 110 is shown as a dotted outline in FIGS. 1 and 2 . Figure 1a shows that the toes 111 are not covered in this example. Showing the toes is seen as a wish to enhance motor sensation and freedom, and to enjoy (almost) barefoot dancing. The arch 112 and heel 113 are also not covered. The ball of the foot, the only part of the foot that touches the ground, is protected. In FIG. 1 e , the sole of the foot bearing the weight under the heel is highlighted as a series of lines 113 . The upper...

example 2

[0064] Example 2. Pointed toe shoes; wrapped toe cap and inner toe cap

[0065] This variant of the invention (see Figure 3a with Figure 3b) is a pointed shoe based on the original "C" shoe of Example 1. The present inventors, being dance teachers, have noticed that dancers often experience pain and difficulty during initiation or completion of tiptoe work, exhibiting incomplete and / or incorrect development of foot strength. If early training is performed with the shoes described in previous Example 1, a smooth transition to the desired toe work is facilitated and will promote the natural and healthy development of the foot shape.

[0066] The C-shaped pointe shoes allow the dancer to maintain the progress made during the early training period, assuming that the dancer's strength and maturity are not appropriate for pointe work. Here, using the center (the term applied to the center of the dancer's body) is highly preferred, as the lift begins at the center, not just th...

example 3

[0071] Example 3. Multipurpose dance shoes; wrapped toe cap but no inner toe cap

[0072] "Multipurpose dance shoes" (see Figure 4 ) based on Example 2. Additionally, it has similar structure and reinforcements, such as in the upper (404). The outsole 105 extends rearwardly about 37 mm (1.5 inches) (although less may be desirable) over the otherwise exposed arch 112 behind the ball of the big toe, while the heel 113 is exposed. The ankle strap 102 may have a satin (for example) upper lip 109, or may be edged, and the lower lip 101 is elastic. The toe cap is completely wrapped by the extension (401) of the upper (404). Although shoelaces (106) are shown, the inventors have realized that an article of footwear has many options for adjusting shoe fit. For safety reasons, the inventors prefer not to use metal parts. In one option ( Figure 4a ), the collar is cut in one piece and has no fastenings and seams.

Abstract

A shoe (100) provides a sole (105) under the ball of the foot (110) but none below the arch (112) or heel (113). An upper (104) encircles the metatarsal bones and the distal end of the tarsals. An inelastic ankle band (102) shaped as ''C'' holds the shoe on the foot. Support is mainly longitudinal, includes over the arch, may be adjustable, and is provided without causing foot distortion. Sensation from exposed parts of the foot promotes kinaesthetic procedure for teaching and learning dance. Variations enclose the dorsal part of the foot, some enclose the toes, and one optio is a toe box for en pointe.

Background technique [0005] Many aspects of modern dance style place the force on the feet, which is unusually large for beginners or young adults. These forces lead to some risk of pressure-related injury to t...
