Provided is a shoe with a replaceable screw-on heel.

Baseplates for shoes, wherein the baseplate is removably insertable into a shoe upper, and wherein the baseplate includes a substantially planar body, which is configured to provide stability to the shoe upper, and a plurality of tread elements, which are configured to protrude through a respective opening of a plurality of openings in a bottom portion of the shoe upper when the baseplate is removably inserted into the shoe upper, wherein the plurality of tread elements are unitarily formed with the body.

There are disclosed high heel shoes where separate components combine to create load balancing internal footwear technology. A two-piece system includes interlocking toe bed and shank constructed of complex three dimensional curved surfaces which create an intricately sculpted volume to provide structural support down the length of the entire foot. The toe bed provides a wide base and keeps the big toe pointed straight (at an approximately 10 angle). A heel maximizes the surface area of the bottom of the heel at the point of strike with the ground while retaining a minimal and aesthetically appealing silhouette from the side view. The toe bed and shank feature a composition of layered materials which when combined work to provide both stability and shock absorption to the ball of the foot during the foot strike of walking. An internal support structure provides a padded barrier and intermediary between the rigidity of the shank and the softness of the shoe upper.

A shoe to mitigate the risk of an ACL tear by decreasing the impact force and preventing a twisting force to occur. A shoe comprising a sole with a toe section and a heel section; and a breakaway portion releasably coupled to the heel section with a release assembly. The release assembly includes an activation region positioned at a posterior end of the shoe. The breakaway heel portion releases from the sole when a threshold force is applied to the activation region. When an athlete lands on their heel in a position of risk with the body well behind the foot, the breakaway portion releases from the remainder of the shoe, such that the foot slides forward. Since the foot is not anchored in the ground, the damaging twisting force does not occur.

Footwear and a method of making footwear are provided, in which the upper side and the outsole side are easily coupled and separated using screws, and the bottom portion of the footwear is easily formed into a desired curved shape. Coupling screws 42 and screw receiving seats 41 arranged in outsole side mounting arrangement portions 80 and upper side mounting arrangement portions 90 are screwed together to separably integrate an outsole side constituent body OC and an upper side constituent body UC. A misalignment region in which positions of the outsole side mounting arrangement portions 80 and positions of the upper side mounting arrangement portions 90 are displaced from each other is provided to thereby form a curved shape on the shoe sole through screw coupling between the outsole side constituent body OC and the upper side constituent body UC.
