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 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.

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 device is described for detachable contacting of a battery cell (4) having a cell receptacle open against a joining direction (2), which cell receptacle is delimited by a contact spring base (1), from which contact tongues (3) protrude against the joining direction (2) for the jacket-side enclosure of the battery cell (4). To propose a device for detachable contacting of a battery cell (4), which enables a reliable electrical connection independently of the relative location of the inserted battery cells and substantially independently of their diameter even in the event of periodic mechanical strains, without making the assembling procedure more difficult, it is proposed that the contact tongues (3) have contact bodies (5) protruding radially into the cell receptacle in the form of a cut ovoid.

A footwear includes a shoe sole, a shoe upper member coupled on the shoe sole, and a toe guider device which includes first and second spacers. Bottom ends of the first and second toe spacers are retained by the shoe sole while top ends of the first and second toe spacers are retained by the shoe upper. The first toe spacer is retained for being worn between first and second toes of a wearer. The second toe spacer is retained for being worn between second and third toes of the wearer.

According to the various embodiments of the present disclosure, footwear with an enhanced toe post is provided. In an exemplary embodiment, the footwear may comprise a sole portion to support and protect a wearer's foot, a strap portion attached to the sole to bind the footwear to a wearer's foot, and at least one toe post passing between a wearer's toes constructed at least partially of memory foam or other cushioning materials.

The utility model relates to a structural arrangement for attaching flexible uppers to sandals such as flip-flops, consisting of an upper (2) comprising three longitudinal straps (7, 8 and 9) provided with, in the most distal regions thereof, an upper protuberance (10) in contact with an upper surface (5) of a sole (1), a lower protuberance (11) in contact with a lower surface (6) of said sole (1), and a hollow space (12) that passes through cavities (4) in the sole (1) and receives a stopper (3) made of rigid plastic, said stopper having both a region with a smaller diameter (13) and a region with a larger diameter (14), the latter covering the lower recess (11) of the most distal end of the upper (2), as well as a central hole (15) that connects the inside of the hollow space to the outside environment.

Provided is a sandal, which includes a base, where the base has a top surface upon which a human foot rests and a periphery defining a peripheral heel end, a peripheral toe end, a longitudinal extent measured from the heel end to the toe end, and first and second opposed peripheral sides. Further, the first peripheral side has at least one base attachment and the second peripheral side having at least one base attachment. The sandal also includes a foot cover which is selectively detachable from the base, such that the cover includes at least one cover attachment which receives the at least one base attachment on the first peripheral side, and at least one cover attachment which receives the at least base attachment on the second peripheral side.

The present invention provides footwear capable of changing between a flip-flop and a sandal. The structure of a flip-flop which includes a sole having a top section, a bottom section, a forefoot section, a heel section, and a sidewall section. Also, a forefoot cover having V-shaped straps is positioned and extends over at least a part of the forefoot section and is attached to the top section of the sole. A horizontal recess is formed in the heel section of the sole for receiving therein a horizontal strap, which is removably placed in the horizontal recess. The horizontal strap is moveable by the user between a first stored position in the recess, and a second in-use raised position, wherein the horizontal strap extends above the horizontal recess and covers the bridge of the user's foot in order to convert the flip-flop to a sandal for securing the foot more securely.

Improved footwear is disclosed, including an improved foot gripping member and footwear having a resilient and angled or curved sole. The improvements are particularly well adapted for footwear made for beach, street, home, sports, or general casual wear. The various features of the disclosed footwear may be utilized alone, or in combination with each other, in order to improve the comfort and improve the attachment to the footwear to the foot.
