A shoe is provided that includes a sole with an outsole and toe bridge opening, a tread arranged in the form of a tread pattern on the outsole, a strap which, together with the sole, forms a foot opening for holding the foot in the metatarsal and/or toe area, and a toe bridge. The toe bridge extends from the strap through the foot opening and through the toe bridge opening of the sole. A button is configured to secure the toe bridge to the sole by preventing the toe bridge from being pulled out of the toe bridge opening. The button has a shape that completes the tread pattern. In embodiments, the shoe is a bathing sandal.

A shoe slide that includes a footbed having a forefoot area with a top edge, a hindfoot portion with a bottom edge, and a footbed surface. A foam footbed liner is disposed atop the footbed surface, the foam footbed liner having an upper surface. A metatarsal pad in the forefoot area of the footbed protrudes above the surface of the footbed liner and is dimensioned such that when the shoe slide is worn the metatarsal pad engages and applies pressure to the wearer's plantar fascial near the proximal phalanges of the toes at the metatarsophalangeal joints. The shoe slide also includes a raised rubber protrusion in the hindfoot area of the footbed positioned and dimensioned such that when the shoe slide is worn the raised rubber protrusion engages and applies pressure to the wearer's plantar fascia near the calcaneal tubercle.

A breathable ergonomic insole for use with a high-heeled shoe includes: an upper layer; an insole body; a plurality of raised support structures, including front, central, and rear support structures; a plurality of perforation assemblies, each comprising a plurality of perforation apertures; front and rear grip patterns; a central grip pattern comprising a plurality of hexagonal indentations, for which a subset is penetrated by a corresponding perforation assembly.

A sandal having a detachable strap fastening, comprising a sole, at least one strap and at least one cam buckle and/or at least one anchor buckle. The sandal is modularly constructed and can be easily assembled and disassembled. The sole and the at least one strap are connected to each other by guiding the at least one strap through apertures provided in the sole. The two ends of the at least one strap are either fastened to the strap again by means of at least one of the cam buckles so as to form a loop or are anchored to one of the apertures by means of at least one of the anchor buckles, wherein the fastening of at least one cam buckle and/or the at least one anchor buckle is effective by friction-locking and they can be opened manually after closing and can be detached from the strap.

The present invention relates to a sandal, in particular a trekking sandal, that comprises a sole for forming a separation layer between a foot area and the floor and at least one strap that is connected to the sole and serves the fastening of a foot in the sandal. The sandal is characterized in that the strap forms a loop that is adapted to deflect a strap guided through the loop in a fastening region by fastening two strap sections to one another.

A wearable advertisement device includes a strap portion having a plurality of fastening apertures along the length of the strap, one or more fastener members and an advertisement plaque. The advertisement plaque may include any custom advertisement to be displayed while the device is worn by a user. The device may be worn by a user around the user's wrist or ankle or the device may serve as a strap such as a sandal strap or otherwise worn on the user's footwear.

A shoe has a main body, an ankle strap, plantar bridge, and a toe loop connected to the main body. The main body wraps around the dorsal instep area of the foot and the plantar bridge wraps around the plantar midfoot area of the foot, without covering the ball, the plantar metatarsals, the heel, or the toes. The ankle strap is attached at its ends to the main body and extends around the back of the foot above the heel for constraining the main body from forwarding movement. The toe loop surrounds one of the toes and connects with the main body from above the foot, for constraining the main body from rearward movement.

A footwear for wrapping an entire foot includes a t lain body made of foam rubber. The main body is dug to embed synthetic rubber into a heel side of a bottom of the min body made of the foam rubber. The embedded part is a part from a mid point from a toe to a heel to a heel part of the bottom of the main body. Specific gravities of the foam rubber and the synthetic rubber are 0.38 g/cm.sup.3 and 1.03 g/cm.sup.3, respectively. A center of gravity of the footwear is shifted to the heel side using a difference in the specific gravity of both to increase stability such that the footwear does not fall over when the footwear is placed upside down. An opening of the footwear is further formed to be flat with respect to a ground surface when the footwear is placed upside down.
