The topless footwear may, for example, includes a strap behind the ankle, side straps, ankles straps, a converging section, internal struts, and tensions straps. The side straps are in longitudinal tension with anchor portions and a converging section. The converging section includes the internal struts anchored to the sole. The side straps extend rearwardly from the anchor portions to the converging section. The tension straps are in longitudinal tension with connection points and the converging section. The tensions straps extend in a forward direction from the connection points to the converging section. A topless shoe including two adjustable side straps in longitudinal tension with anchor points on a base, the anchor points being arranged proximate to a metatarsal portion of the shoe, the adjustable side straps extending longitudinally from the anchor points rearwardly along a heel strap that wraps around the back of an ankle portion.

Embodiments of the present application provide a footwear strap and a footwear having the same. An article of footwear may have a heel element located at a heel region of the footwear. A heel structural element may include an upper rear portion with an inwardly oriented convex cross-sectional curvature arranged to easily allow receiving a user's heel when donning the shoe. A portion of the convex cross-sectional curvature facing a sole structure of the footwear.

A shoe with an adjustable upper structure, including a sole, an adjustable structure, and an upper provided on the sole. The adjustable structure includes a pin buckle and a woven strap. The woven strap is of a mesh structure and a plurality of woven perforations are distributed on the woven strap. The woven strap is detachably connected with the pin buckle in such a manner that a pin of the pin buckle is capable of passing through one of the plurality of woven perforations when the woven strap is passed through a buckle of the pin buckle. The pin of the pin buckle is capable of being inserted into a different one of the plurality of woven perforations to adjust tightness of the upper.

Foot support systems include sole structures, portions of sole structures, drop-in midsole components, insertable sole components (e.g., midsoles or insoles), or the like. The foot support systems may include a foam base member (e.g., made from a relatively thick foam material) and at least one fluid-filled bladder. The fluid-filled bladder(s) may include one or more interior fluid chambers. When multiple interior fluid chambers are present, they may be at substantially the same or different pressures. Additional aspects of this technology relate to articles of footwear that include such foot support systems, such as slides, sandals, and/or other types of footwear. Foot support systems and/or footwear in accordance with some examples of this technology may include systems for applying heating, cooling, and/or vibrational forces to a foot. Additional aspects of this technology relate to methods of applying heating, cooling, and/or vibrational forces to a foot (e.g., for recovery, injury treatment, etc.).

Embodiments of the present application provide a footwear strap and a footwear having the same. An article of footwear may have a strap element and a heel structural element inside the strap element. The heel structural element may have two connecting arms, each of the two connecting arms having a medial arm and a lateral arm connected with the medial arm. The lateral arm and the medial arm may be integrally molded, and the lateral arm may be connected with the upper rear portion. The footwear strap may be assembled to the footwear and a compressible layer is located on an inner side of the heel structural element, and the compressible layer entirely covers the upper rear portion, at least partially covers the medial arm and the lateral arm, and gradually tapers or terminates along the inner side of the medial arm and the inner side of the lateral arm.

A unique crisscross, lace-up accessory designed to enhance the aesthetic appeal and functionality of bodywear is disclosed. It features a combined material system that incorporates four elements that enable enhanced stability on the body. The four elements are: 1) flexible materials with mechanical stretch on all layers of the bodywear unit; 2) silicone or other adhesive material on the bottom layer that stabilizes the material on the body; 3) a closure mechanism such as, but not limited to, a tie, snap, eyelet, or Velcro; and 4) an arch pad at the middle point of the bodywear unit to indicate placement of the bodywear unit and to provide for further functionality such as pressure points for acupressure of other therapeutic effects. The bodywear unit can be used on legs, arms, and/or torso. The bodywear unit combines style, comfort, and practicality, while maintaining design stability in one cohesive accessory.

A sandal construction providing lightweight, highly adjustable sandals. The sandal includes an EVA midsole configured to receive the wearers footwear and an outsole configured to engage the ground. The sandal includes an upper having a heel assembly that seats the heel of the wearer's foot and a strap that retains the forward portion of the wearer's foot. The forefoot strap is a single, adjustable length strap that passes over the wearer's foot and is slidably threaded through passages in the sole. The midsole includes embedded strap inserts that define portions of the passages to receive and facilitate lengthwise movement of the strap. The strap inserts are substantially more rigid than the EVA. Each strap insert may include a web shepherding the strap across the bottom of the midsole and a pair of upright sleeves that shepherd the strap through at least a portion of the thickness of the midsole.

An adjustable flip flop with a unique strap system is described. The sole assembly includes an outsole, a midsole, and a footbed, with an inner strap affixed to the sole assembly at the first end of the inner strap and to a strap interconnect at the second end. An outer ladder loop strap may be connected to the sole assembly at its first end and to the strap interconnect on its second end, where the outer ladder loop strap includes a G-hook that hooks into one of a plurality of hook pockets on the outer ladder loop strap. A toe strap may be connected to the sole assembly at one end and to the strap interconnect at the other end, where the toe strap includes webbing and a pair of paracords.

A sole assembly for a convertible shoe configured to adopt a flat configuration in which a low heel is removably connected to a heel region, and a high heel configuration, in which a high heel is removably connected to the heel region, the convertible shoe including: a unitary midsole portion including a flexible forefoot support region at a front end, and a rigid hindfoot support region disposed adjacent the forefoot support region, the arrangement being such that the flexible forefoot support region is configured to flex between being substantially parallel with the rigid hindfoot support region in the flat configuration, and extending at an angle generally transverse to the rigid hindfoot support region in the high heel configuration; wherein the forefoot support region includes a substantially flexible midsole and the hindfoot support region includes a substantially rigid midsole, and the substantially flexible midsole forefoot is moulded over a portion of the rigid hindfoot support to facilitate in use the change in angle of the forefoot support relative to the hindfoot support region, and a bayonet-style quick connector fastening dock in a heel region of the hindfoot support region for selective quick release and mount of the high heel and flat heel.
