Rename?
[edit]Shouldn'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
[edit]I 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?
[edit]I 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.
