Proposed are a flexible mannequin shoe and a method for manufacturing same. The flexible mannequin shoe includes: a front guide member having a structure for surrounding a toe portion of a mannequin foot; a rear guide member having a structure for surrounding a heel portion of the mannequin foot; and a cover member having a structure for covering portions including the front guide member and the rear guide member which are inserted over the mannequin foot. The flexible mannequin shoe has the advantages of enabling the reduction of costs for manufacturing and replacing mannequin shoes for displays that need to be frequently changed according to changes in season or fashion trends and enabling the replacement time thereof to be shortened.

Disclosed is a shoe having a compressible lattice structure in a heel portion to facilitate rapid, easy donning and doffing of shoes. In example embodiments, the lattice structure includes a plurality of interconnected, overlapping, intersecting and/or woven ribs defining a plurality of apertures. The lattice structure has an open position in which the shoe opening is expanded to facilitate reception of a foot of an individual wearing the rapid-entry shoe, and a closed position in which the shoe opening is smaller to retain the foot within the rapid-entry shoe.

A foldable shoe includes a first sole section to be located under the ball of a wearer's foot including a first outsole portion and a first toothed. The foldable shoe further includes a second sole section that is separate from the first sole section and is to be located under the heel of a wearer's foot, the second sole section including a second outsole portion and a second footbed. An upper section extends from the first sole section, and a hinge is connected to the first sole section and the second sole section and is configured to fold the foldable shoe from a first position, to be worn, to a second position, for storage.

A foldable footwear is disclosed, including a first insole, a second insole, and a third insole. At least one strap, toe box, or upper vamp affixed to the second insole. A sole defines a first channel and a second channel to define a first sole hingedly attached to a second sole. A third sole is hingedly attached to the second sole, wherein the first insole is disposed one the first sole, the second insole is disposed on the second sole, and the third insole is disposed on the third sol. The foldable footwear is constructed and arranged to fold along the first channel and the second channel. Alternatively, the foldable footwear may fold in half via a mid-channel positioned between the first sole and the second sole.

A device configured to surround a portion of a foot-receiving cavity at a heel region of an article of footwear includes a control bar having a center segment, a medial side arm extending from the center segment, and a lateral side arm spaced from the medial side arm and extending from the center segment. The device may include an extension extending toward the control bar. At least a portion of the control bar may be elastically deformable under an applied force depressing the control bar toward the extension, and the extension may limit movement of the control bar. The control bar may be adapted to return to an unloaded position upon removal of the applied force.

Comfortable, protective, durable, and lightweight footwear with minimal component parts. Both the footwear and the method of constructing the same is streamlined.

An article of footwear comprises a sole structure, and an upper including a front section and a rear section. The front section is fixed to a forefoot region of the sole structure and partially defines a foot-receiving cavity. The rear section is operatively secured to the sole structure at least partially rearward of the front section, and includes medial and lateral wings. A medial set of magnets includes at least one front medial magnet secured to a medial side of the front section and at least one rear medial magnet secured to the medial wing. A lateral set of magnets includes at least one front lateral magnet secured to a lateral side of the front section and at least one rear lateral magnet secured to the lateral wing. The rear section is movable relative to the front section between an access position and a use position.

A convertible high heel and flat shoe, comprising a sole including a heel section; and a high heel piece positionable between a high heel mode where the high heel piece supports the heel section and a flat shoe mode where the high heel piece is received within the sole.

Footwear is disclosed. The footwear includes a shell; a sole positioned on a bottom of the shell; wherein the shell is reconfigurable between: a first configuration in which the shell has an L-shape adapted to enclose a human foot; and a second configuration in which the shell is rolled into a bundle.
