A footwear article is provided herein. The footwear article may include a sole coupled to a cord structure. The cord structure may include interconnected bights in a vamp cord and a rand cord forming a loop line extending along at least a portion of the footwear article.

A modular sandal. The modular sandal includes a sole having an upper side and a lower side. Slots disposed on the lower side include an interior wall and a width. Channels extending from the lower side of the sole through the upper side of the sole include a diameter. Each of the channels is positioned within one of the slots. A strap including locking tabs is pivotally affixed to the sole. Each locking tab is configured to pivot between a locked position and an unlocked position. Each locking tab is configured to pass through each channel when in an unlocked position. Each locking tab frictionally engages the interior wall of each slot when in a locked position, thereby anchoring the strap to the sole.

A method for making an article of footwear includes placing a purified recombinant resilin composition in a mold with a cross-linking solution, incubating the recombinant resilin composition in the cross-linking solution to generate a solid resilin material, fabricating a cushioning element of the article of footwear including at least a portion of the solid resilin material, and assembling the cushioning element insole with at least an upper of the article of footwear.

A shoe extension for gait modification includes a vamp section, a base section, an attachment strap, and a restraining mechanism. The vamp section is connected to a top surface of the base section forming a receiving slot. A toe box of a shoe worn on a healthy limb is slidably positioned into the receiving slot such that the base section is positioned along an outsole of the shoe. The attachment strap is utilized to establish a connection with the shoe. By increasing an overall length of the footwear worn on the healthy limb, a speed of motion of the healthy limb may be reduced in order to increase weight bearing on the unhealthy limb. The restraining mechanism, which is preferably integrated into a bottom surface of the base section, may also be used to reduce the speed of motion of the healthy limb.

The present invention discloses a sole structure of a high-heeled shoe that may have a walking mechanism similar to movement of human walking when a pedestrian wears and walks in high-heeled shoes.

A sole structure of a high-heeled shoe of the present invention includes: a front portion supported on the ground; a bending portion that extends from the front portion to be positioned at a rear side of a metatarsophalangeal joint and is bent in an opposite direction to the ground; and a rear portion extending from the bending portion.

A sandal has a removable strap and a sole. The removable strap has a first end and a second end. Each of the first end and the second end having a clip. The sole has a front edge, a read edge, a first side edge, a second side edge, a stop surface and a bottom surface. Each of the first side edge and the second side edge have a clip receiver. The clip receiver on the first side edge and the clip receiver on the second side edge are positioned opposite to each other. Each of the clip receivers is positioned between the top surface and the bottom surface of the sole such that they are positioned entirely within the sole. The clip receiver is mateable with the clip.

A rapid-entry shoe having a heel arm configured to transition between a collapsed configuration, for easy donning and doffing of the shoe, and an uncollapsed configuration, for securing a foot inside the shoe, the shoe having a resilient member configured to bias the heel arm toward the uncollapsed configuration.

Changeable decorative slippers with decorative top elements that may be changed with other decorative top elements as desired.

Disclosed herein is an interchangeable strap on an opened toed footwear that includes a sole and a strap. Connected to one or more of the ends of the strap is an insert. The sole of the footwear includes housing units that are connectable to the strap inserts found on one or more strap end. The connection between the insert and the housing unit is both connectable and detachable.

A breathable stationary bicycle shoe for use with a stationary bicycle. The bicycle shoe of the present disclosure may preferably include a breathable lightweight mesh upper, allowing for greater breathability and comfort compared to existing bicycle shoes. The breathable stationary bicycle shoe may comprise a bottom portion equipped with a cleat, such as a clipless bicycle pedal cleat, such as an SPD® cleat, which may allow it to securely connect to the pedals of a stationary bike.
