A closure mechanism is moveable between unlocked and locked positions and includes a locking element coupled to the first portion of the upper and a non-deflecting projection coupled to the second portion of the upper. The locking element is configured to receive the non-deflecting projection and comprises one or more deflecting abs. The projection is moveable in a first direction relative to the locking element to engage with the locking element, thereby moving the closure mechanism to the locked position and moving the upper to the closed configuration. The projection is moveable in the first direction relative to the locking element to disengage with the locking element, thereby moving the closure mechanism to the unlocked position and allowing the upper to return to the open configuration.

A pair of shoes may be asymmetric between one another in various respects. For example, the left shoe may include a left-shoe wrapping panel non-releasably coupled to a left-shoe medial side and extending towards a left-shoe lateral side while the right shoe may include a wrapping panel non-releasably coupled to a right-shoe lateral side and extending towards a right-shoe medial side. The left-shoe wrapping panel may releasably couple to the left-shoe lateral side and the right-shoe wrapping panel may releasably couple to the right-shoe medial side. The left shoe and the right shoe may respectively include a left-shoe heel strap and a right-shoe heel strap. The left-shoe heel strap and a right-shoe heel strap each respectively wrap around, at least in part, a heel region of the left shoe and the right shoe.

In order to improve assembling convenience and productivity of products, the present invention provides a wire winding adjusting device comprising a reel portion which is accommodated in a housing unit and is selectively hook-engaged with and rotated interlocking with a rotation manipulation means such that a wire is wound on the outer circumference thereof, wherein the rotation manipulation means is rotated about a driving protrusion at the center thereof during a rotation manipulation. The reel portion comprises: a winding body unit which has a cylindrical shape, has an accommodation groove formed in an upper surface side thereof such that an end portion of the driving protrusion is accommodated in the accommodation groove and a lower surface side which is dented to form a coupling groove portion, and includes a wire tying unit adjacent to the bottom surface of the coupling groove unit and having a first tying hole and a second tying hole through which the wire partially passes and which are formed through the wire tying unit to be apart from each other such that the wire is tied; and a pair of flange portions which expand and protrude outward in the radial direction along upper and lower boundaries of the outer circumferential surface of the winding body unit such that a wire winding groove can be formed between inner surfaces thereof facing each other, and which have a through-slot groove that is open because the first tying hole and the second tying hole are apart from each other along the circumferential direction such that an end portion of the wire pulled into the coupling groove unit can be pressed by a part of the wire.

An article of footwear may include an insert configured to receive a foot of a wearer. The insert may consist essentially of a casing configured to at least partially enclose a foot of a wearer and including a casing material and a high heat capacity material. The article of footwear may also include an outer assembly configured to receive the foot of the wearer when the foot is received within the insert.

An article of footwear may comprise an upper and a closure system. The closure system may include a strap, a tensioning cable, and a plurality of pulleys. The strap may have a fixed end fixed relative to the upper, a free end selectively securable to the upper in a fastened position, and an elastic portion between the fixed end and the free end. The closure system may include a tensioning cable anchored to the upper and secured to the strap. The closure system may also include a plurality of pulleys anchored to the upper and engaging the tensioning cable. The tensioning cable may be configured to tighten against the upper when the elastic portion of the strap stretches as the free end of the strap is pulled.

The present invention relates to a shoe cover designed to cover and protect wrestling regulation wrestling shoes. The shoe cover is adapted to be worn over a regulation wrestling shoe thereby prohibiting the shoe from touching any surface and thus protecting the shoe from contamination due to debris, dirt, and pathogens. The shoe cover is flexible, stretchable, non-slipping and conforms to the shape of wrestling shoes. The shoe cover includes a strap for securing the shoe cover over the shoe and can be secured using a hook and loop fastener. The shoe cover includes an appearance of a shoe and can selectively be worn independently as a footwear or sandal. The shoe cover is easily worn by a wrestler and wrestling official when not on wrestling mats and can be removed before stepping onto the wrestling mat thereby preventing the wrestling mat from cross contamination.

A heel protector (100) includes a leg engaging section (101) and a foot engaging section (102) intersecting at a heel receiver (103). The leg engaging section (101) and the foot engaging section (102) define a leg insertion aperture (104). The leg engaging section (101) defines at least one aperture (203) disposed in an ankle region (205) to permit a connection tube (1002) extending from an inflatable bladder (901) of a compression device (800) to pass therethrough. The heel protector (100) and compression device (800) work together as a rehabilitation system (1300).

A medical shoe having a plurality of outsole projections is provided. The medical shoe may include a sole assembly configured to support a foot, and a frame surrounding the sole assembly. The sole assembly may include a midsole portion forming a substantially planar surface for supporting the foot and an outsole portion including the plurality of outsole projections extending from the midsole portion. The frame may include a plurality of through holes corresponding to the plurality of outsole projections. The plurality of outsole projections may extend through the plurality of through holes so as to form a ground contacting surface. The plurality of outsole projections may also be provided in a symmetrical pattern. The sole assembly may be secured to the frame by a self-locking fit between the sole assembly and the frame.
