An item of footwear ( 10 ), which exposes a substantial portion of a wearer's foot, is disclosed. The footwear includes a plurality of foot enclosures ( 110, 112 ) operably connected to each other via a connector ( 114 ), such as a plurality of elastic straps ( 200, 202 ). Protective pads ( 180, 182 ) may be attached to the footwear, such as leather pads on the plantar surface of the footwear. One advantage offered by this footwear is that the wearer's foot-and particularly the arch and middle of the foot-is substantially exposed to view, achieving a new aesthetic for ballet and dance footwear.
