Patent

CA 2446611

The invention relates to a custom-fitting, asymmetric ballet shoe with a shell (9) and liner (13) 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 (18) 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.

L'invention concerne un chausson de danse asymétrique à ajustement personnalisé comprenant une coquille (9) et une garniture (13) permettant à un danseur de se tenir sur les pointes, et d'exécuter les mouvements extrêmes requis par une chorégraphie de ballet avec un minimum d'inconfort, de douleur et de blessure aux pieds provoqués par différentes manoeuvres aériennes exigées tant par une chorégraphie classique que moderne. Ledit chausson est conçu de façon à répartir régulièrement le poids du danseur et les réactions de forces terrestres, associées à la danse sur les pointes, sur les orteils tout en translatant certaines forces de l'extrémité distale des orteils vers le reste du pied. Ce chausson comprend un couvre-chausson superficiel (18) amovible permettant de faire varier notamment la couleur et la forme en fonction du costume et de remplacer ledit couvre-chausson lorsque le tissu est déchiré, ce qui permet d'allonger la durée de vie du reste du chausson.
