A set of footwear includes a left foot piece configured to hold a left foot of a first person; a right foot piece configured to hold a right foot of the first person; a first attachment member attached to a top surface of the left foot piece, wherein the first attachment member is configured to hold a left foot of a second person; and a second attachment member attached to a top surface of the right foot piece, wherein the second attachment member is configured to hold a right foot of the second person.

The implementation improves in the best possible way the integration between the insole and a modified sock, different than those currently known. The present implementation describes an insole-sock type insert for shoes, which presents a novel configuration that consists of an insole, which has a short, medium, or modified sock attached to it, totally or partially, within the extension of the insole; a short, medium, or modified sock, partially attached to the insole, remaining loose or free in the front part where the toes go and/or part of the instep as well as the front part of the foot, and; an attachment mechanism between the insole and the short, medium, or modified sock, which allows for their attachment, where such mechanism is a seam, Velcro, adhesive, or any other type of method that has the same function.

The present invention generally relates to therapeutic footwear such as sandals, conventional shoes, and corrective inserts that may be inserted into conventional shoes. Specifically, the therapeutic footwear may be used for maintaining, correcting, or repositioning the great toe to decrease pressure on the first metatarsal-phalangeal joint or bunion. Additional therapeutic features may include spreading of the wearer's toes, supporting the wearer's arch to control excessive pronation, and providing sustained heel cord stretch at rest, during ambulation, pedicure, and before, during, or after medical treatment.

A sock liner (fitting above an insole of an article of footwear) includes a base layer between a thinner top layer, typically fabric contacting a sock in a shoe, and an intermediate layer below for shaping. The intermediate layer is a tailored series of projections, each extending from the medial side toward the lateral side. Together, these contain locally the individual regions of the fat pad, extending along the underside of a foot, providing the natural cushioning of bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments thereabove. The liner may provide flex, stiffness, lift, cushioning, or the like in areas of the heel, arch, metatarsals, and forefoot. The layup typically includes multiple layers of expanded polymer material (plastic or elastomeric foam). These may be cut, overlaid, embossed, debossed, or a combination, in or out of a mold, to locally alter density, thickness, softness, or stiffness.

An article of footwear comprises a sole, and an upper that has a medial side portion extending from the medial side of the sole with a first distal end remote from the medial side. The upper has a lateral side portion extending from the lateral side of the sole with a second distal end remote from the lateral side. The upper may include a support member extending at least partially across the foot-receiving surface with a first end remote from the medial side. The medial and lateral side portions wrap at least partially around a foot with the first distal end securable proximal to the lateral side, and the second distal end separately securable proximal to the medial side. An article of footwear has cables with proximal ends fixed to one side of the upper and that extend through looped cables on an opposite side of the upper.

A footwear article includes a tongue and a tongue reinforcer, which helps the tongue maintain a shape and position when the tongue is subjected to forces or adjustments, such as from other footwear-article elements or from a wearer. For example, the tongue reinforcer may help the tongue maintain a shape and position when a wearer is inserting his or her foot into the footwear article or when medial and/or lateral quarters press inward on the tongue.

An apparatus includes a heel platform section, a mid-foot section juxtaposed to the heel platform section, and a toe section juxtaposed to the mid-foot section. The mid-foot section and toe section collectively have a geometric shape having a first slope of a polarity along an inner edge of the apparatus from the toe section to the mid-foot section and a second slope of the polarity along the inner edge of the apparatus to the outer edge of the apparatus at the toe section.

Disclosed is an orthopedic medical device which includes an orthesis structure which is made of a rigid or semi-rigid material or it is made of an elastically yielding material and has at least one external wall to be anchored to a face or wall of an orthopedic guardian adapted to directly or indirectly contact an area of a body limb or body part to be protected.

An article of footwear includes a sole structure and an upper secured to the sole structure. The upper is configured to receive a foot of a wearer and has a peripheral region. Further, the upper includes a ribbon structure formed of a plurality of ribbon sections, and a plurality of ribbon loops extending from a peripheral region of the upper.

A footwear combination that includes a base shoe that may be combined with plural different fitted socks to accommodate plural outfits, depending upon the fitted sock that is combined with the shoe. The fitted socks are detachable from the shoe (e.g., for washing and change of outfitting). Points of attachment between the sock and shoe extend down to the region of the metatarso-phalangeal joints. This allows the dorsal portion of the foot to remain bare and will allow fashionable women's footwear to be at once comfortable and trendy.
