Kelly Schmutte - Inventor of the PerfectFit Pointe Shoe Insert - 007
From dancing on pointe to inventing a pointe shoe insert worn by dancers around the globe. Meet Kelly Schmutte, Founder of PerfectFit Pointe Shoe Inserts!
When Kelly first when on pointe as a young ballet dancer, she couldn’t help but think, “There’s got to be a better way to do this!”
“Dancers feet and toes are as different as their faces”. With this realization, Kelly noticed a problem. Most toe pads on the market were the same shape for all feet and are one uniform thickness, which does nothing to improve weight distribution or the fit of the shoe.
In 2015, after years of planning and processing, Kelly made a solution. Her PerfectFit Pointe Shoe Inserts use a moldable impression material to adapt each dancers unique foot to fit the inside of their shoe like a glove.
