Rename?
editShouldn't this article's name be singular? Most other objects that come in pairs are still listed in the singular: eye, foot, leg, hand, shoe, boot, &c. President Lethe 15:15, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

Ballet slipper
editI wanted to make the word slipper in this article a link to an article on ballet slippers; but I see only articles on Ballet and on Slippers in general (which latter article makes little or no mention of the specific ballet form). Does anyone want to write a new article? I don't have the knowledge to do it. President Lethe 15:15, 19 March 2006 (UTC)
Trivia

It's me. I wear and walk in ballet heels daily. I have also jumped rope, driven a car and gone for a run in them.
Many people these days are capable of taking a short wander in their ballet heels.
I have also written a gude to help people condition their bodies for safer use of this type of footwear.

I think I missed the "trivia" addition. Anything relevant?

Training?
editI was wondering if these boots would be useful to ballerinas who are getting accustomed to standing en pointe? Have they ever been used for that? --76.181.33.65 (talk) 23:41, 1 August 2011 (UTC)
Hi,
Due to the construction of the modern ballet boot, the arch of the foot is than what would be required for a full pointe work. I have not known of any dancer that has used ballet boots to increase their foot flexibility, because a ballet dancer's foot/ankle - already trained for pre-pointe work, should already have a greater arch range than a ballet boot provides.

Short and unreferenced. Low-importance because it's really specialized footwear, after all. Daniel Case 02:41, 26 March 2007 (UTC) |
