The fibres move with the foot and recover towards their original shape, allowing the upper to remain closely contoured without creating the rigid feeling of conventional footwear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eopen-toe design\u003c\/strong\u003e is equally important. Rather than enclosing the toes, Orbit allows them to spread naturally during balance and weight transfer, while still covering the upper forefoot. It creates an interesting middle ground between the exposed feeling of a foot thong and the greater coverage of a traditional half sole.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeneath the ball of the foot, a \u003cstrong\u003eleather outsole with additional internal padding\u003c\/strong\u003e creates the working surface. The leather protects against direct friction and floor burn during turns, while the cushioning reduces pressure through repeated contact without adding the bulk of a complete dance shoe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSecurity comes from a \u003cstrong\u003esoft, wide elastic backed with silicone\u003c\/strong\u003e. Rather than relying purely on compression to hold the foot glove in place, the silicone backing helps resist unwanted movement against the skin, a particularly clever detail in a design intended to stay very close to the foot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBloch Orbit S0638 Stretch Canvas Foot Glove – Technical Profile\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"background: #FBFBFB;
