A safety slipper (10) includes a stretchable fabric material upper portion (12) and a porous anti-skid lower portion. The upper portion has a foot opening (16) and a profile heel pocket (17). The lower portion (13) is made from a scrim cloth type material having a knit of polyester threads (21) coated with a soft poly-vinyl chloride outer layer (22). The lower portion provides for a cris-crossing pattern or matrix of interconnected nodes (23) with spaces (24) therebetween.

Disclosed herein are improved cross-linked resilin compositions and methods of making these improved compositions. These include new methods of cross-linking resilin compositions, use of polar nonaqueous solvents for adjusting material properties of cross-linked resilin solid compositions, and resilin foam compositions and methods of making the same.

A shoe may include an upper portion constructed from a continuous textile (e.g., a knit textile) that includes an elastic region and a structural region. The elastic region may be positioned about a perimeter of an opening into a cavity configured to receive a wearer's foot, and the elastic region may be configured to secure the shoe to a wearer's foot. The elastic region may have a first elasticity that is greater than a second elasticity of the structural region. In an unworn configuration, the elastic region may cause a tread surface of a sole of the shoe to have a continuous curvature. In a worn configuration, substantially all of an intermediate section of the tread surface may contact a surface on which the shoe is placed. The elastic region may improve the performance of the shoe, including the comfort and durability.

A footwear combination that includes a base shoe that may be combined with plural different fitted socks to accommodate plural outfits, depending upon the fitted sock that is combined with the shoe. The fitted socks are detachable from the shoe (e.g., for washing and change of outfitting). Points of attachment between the sock and shoe extend down to the region of the metatarso-phalangeal joints. This allows the dorsal portion of the foot to remain bare and will allow fashionable women's footwear to be at once comfortable and trendy.

An article of footwear includes an inner contact material operable to provide an interface between the article of footwear and portions of a wearer's foot. The inner contact material defines an inner foot opening through which a foot can be received. The inner contact material extends downwardly about the foot from the inner foot opening. An outer support material at least partially circumscribes portions of the inner contact material. The outer support material defines an outer foot opening through which a foot can be received. The outer support material extends downwardly about the foot from the outer foot opening. The inner foot opening is positioned higher around a periphery of the foot than is the outer foot opening so as to expose portions of the inner contact material above the outer support material.

A rolled up footwear device includes a slipper comprising a sole and a vamp and a counter such that the slipper can be worn on a foot of a user. The sole is comprised of a resiliently deformable material thereby facilitating the sole to be rolled up for storage. Each of the vamp and the counter is comprised of a deformable material thereby facilitating each of the vamp and the counter to lie flat against the sole when the sole is rolled up. A cushion is integrated into the sole to support the user's foot when the user wears the slipper. A storage pouch is provided for containing the slipper when the slipper is rolled up to facilitate the user to transport the slipper.

Provided is a slipper including an outsole 100 in contact with a floor, a midsole 200 assembled on an upper side of the outsole 100 and supporting a foot of a user, and a balance foam 300 disposed between the outsole 100 and the midsole 200 and made of a memory foam material. The slipper is to be modified to fit a shape of the sole of the foot of the user by placing a balance form between the outsole and the midsole, thereby improving the wearing comfort of the user.

Footwear used for high performance activities such as running can be adhesively attached to the plantar surface of feet rather than uppers or straps. The upper surface of the protective layer of the footwear can have adhesive regions that secure the foot to the footwear and other regions that are not adhesively coupled to the foot. The adhesive regions can be under the heel, along the lateral side of the foot, under the first through fifth metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joints and around the perimeter of the foot above the plantar surface.

A slipper having a replaceable upper comprises a sole and an upper, left and right side edges of an upper surface of the sole extend upwards to respectively form a left retaining edge and a right retaining edge, the left retaining edge is provided with a left through hole in the width direction of the sole, the right retaining edge is provided with a right through hole in the width direction of the sole, and two ends of the upper respectively pass through the left and right through holes to form a detachable connection with an outer surface of the upper; two ends of the upper are respectively inserted from inner side surfaces of the left and right retaining edges, correspondingly pass through the left and right through holes, and are then folded back to be bonded and fastened to the outer surface of the upper.

An assembled slipper with electrostatic adsorption for hair and dust, including a slipper body, the bottom surface of the slipper body is provided with slots for installing a cleaning assembly; the lower part of the cleaning assembly is covered with an electrostatic adsorption assembly for adsorbing dust on the ground, and a gap is reserved between the electrostatic adsorption assembly and the bottom surface of the slipper body for accumulating adsorbed dust. When using the cleaning assembly, remove the electrostatic adsorption assembly and let the cleaning assembly touch the ground. The cleaning assembly and electrostatic adsorption assembly designed at the bottom of the slipper can respectively achieve two cleaning methods: wet wiping and electrostatic adsorption. The cleaning assembly uses a moist cleaning fur pad to wipe the ground during walking, effectively removing stubborn stains and small particles.
