ABSTRACT:
A dance shoe having a toe end and a heel end. The dance shoe has an outer sole which is constructed of a flexible material and an outer covering which is constructed of a flexible material connected to the outer sole with the outer covering cooperating with the outer sole to substantially encompass a foot space with a foot opening being formed through a portion of the outer covering. The foot opening and the foot space each are sized and adapted so that an individual may dispose his foot through the foot opening and into the foot space with the outer covering substantially covering the upper portion of an individual's foot when the individual's foot is disposed in the foot space. A relatively rigid toe support is disposed in the foot space generally near the toe end of the dance shoe. The toe support substantially encompasses and defines a toe space with a toe opening being formed through one end of a toe support. The toe space and the toe opening are sized and adapted so that, when an individual's foot is disposed in the foot space, the individual's toes are disposed through the toe opening and into the toe space. The toe support cooperates to enable the individual to stand on the ends of the individual's toes while wearing the dance shoes.
