Toenail Polish Drying Footwear Device
20260101958 · 2026-04-16 ·

A toenail polish drying footwear device is provided. The device is comprised of a piece of footwear comprised of a toe separator assembly integrally formed with or attached to the body of the device, at least one heel strap for foot stabilization, and a sole designed for traction and durability. The toe separator assembly comprises a plurality of flexible toe-separating members extending vertically from the top surface of the body and dimensioned to fit comfortably between a user's toes. In some embodiments, the toe separator assembly further comprises a skin-safe adhesive applied at the base of the separator or an angled toe wedge support that elevates the toes to prevent polish contact with external surfaces.

Shoe with improved stability
12616273 · 2026-05-05 · ·

A shoe with an interstitial (e.g., between the toes) support for the user's foot that provides improved stability to the user's foot. The internal toe-reliant support includes two to four posts that extend into the gaps between toes in the foot and are positioned proximate the vertices or posterior ends of the gaps. The posts inhibit or limit motion of the foot within the shoe, such as when initiating or terminating a motion in a medial, lateral or forward direction (e.g., while walking, hiking or running on level ground or downhill), or when initiating or terminating a clockwise or counterclockwise pivoting motion about the toe portion of the shoe.

Orthotic positioning apparatus and system
12628904 · 2026-05-19 ·

An orthotic positioning apparatus includes a shoe having an interior and an exterior upper. The exterior upper includes a perimeter edge defining an elongate opening extending between a toe box and a foot opening. An insole is removably disposed within the interior and includes a toe area having multiple resilient toe separator elements projecting upwardly from a top surface of the insole along an arc. When the insole is disposed in the interior of the shoe, the resilient toe separator elements are positioned in the toe box and configured to separate adjacent toes of a user. A top edge of a cover is pivotally coupled to the toe box and configured to cover the elongate opening. The cover selectively pivots upwardly such that the elongate opening exposes the resilient toe separator elements.
