A wearable cleaning apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus comprises a shoe type assembly adapted to be worn on a user's foot, and a sole assembly attached to the shoe type assembly. The sole assembly is adapted to engage a ground surface, comprises at least partially raised heel portion and a scraper extending between a metatarsal portion and a toe portion of the sole assembly. The heel portion comprises a plurality of grooves, and the scraper comprises a plurality of bristles. The partially raised heel portion having a plurality of grooves is adapted to provide stability to the user while using said apparatus. The apparatus is adapted to easily move in a direction parallel to the ground surface while applying pressure with user's body weight whereby the plurality of bristles of the apparatus frictionally engage the ground surface to be cleaned.

A boot comprises: a shell comprising a first foamed polymeric material; a sock liner comprising a second foamed polymeric material, the sock liner having an exposed section and an enclosed section; and an adhesive layer affixing the shell and the enclosed section of the sock liner; wherein there is an absence of intermingling of the second surface of the enclosed section of the sock liner with the inner surface of the shell. Methods of making and using the boot are also provided.

A footwear article for watersports comprising a sole, a vamp in connection with the sole and an upper fixed with the vamp and the sole. A lacing system disposed on the upper, the lacing system comprises a lace, a first set of anchor points and a second set of anchor points. Said lacing system is disposed on an outer side of the upper and configured such that the lace crosses over itself fewer than six times between anchor points in the closed configuration; and wherein at least one of the vamp and the upper comprises a textured surface, and an upper comprises a strap adapted to extend around at least the perimeter of the upper.

The present invention is a type of shock absorbent shoes with the heel portion of each shoe bottom divided into an upper and lower portion; by having a horizontal gap between the outsole and midsole or along the midsole. Also, several resistive devices are each connected to said lower portion and said upper portion or the upper of said shoe. Whereby, having resistive device attached to the side of both the outsole and midsole and/or upper; allow them to be more lengthy, hence more energy can be store and released along, their entire length, to the point where both the outsole and midsole touches, therefore, the amount of play the resistive devices have is dependent on the amount of space between said outsole and midsole. Each shoe also includes a small detachable power bank charger device for use of partially charging of cell phone, blue tooth speakers, wireless ear buds etc. Each power bank is charged by electrical pulse from a piezoelectric device via a circuit board and is fitted to a modest structure on the shoe such that it does not cause the shoes to look bulky or feel uncomfortable.
