US Patent:

Filed:
May 1, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/476034
Inventors:
Janice Bruckner - Philadelphia PA, US
International Classification:
A43B005/12, A43B003/14, A43C013/14

Abstract:
The invention relates to a custom-fitting, asymmetric ballet shoe with a shell () and liner () that enables the dancer to stand en pointe and perform the extreme movements required by ballet choreography with minimal discomfort, pain, and injury to the foot caused by the various aerial ballet maneuvers called for by both traditional and modern choreography. The shoe of the present invention is designed to redistribute the dancer's weight and the ground force reactions associated with dancing en pointe evenly across the toes while translating some of the force away from the distal aspect of the dancer's toes to the rest of the foot. The shoe has a removable cosmetic cover () to enable, inter alia, the color and design to be varied according to costume design and the cover's replacement when the fabric is worn, thereby extending the useful life of the remainder of the shoe.
