An apparatus is provided that includes a sole cover. The sole cover is configured to be removably attached to a sole of a shoe to cover the sole of the shoe. The sole cover includes a first covering section and a second covering section, where the first covering section is configured to cover the sole of the shoe at a toe box portion of the shoe. The second covering section is configured to cover the sole of the shoe at a waist portion of the shoe. The first covering section angles upwardly and away from the second covering section at an angle relative to the second covering section at an angle relative to the second covering section when the second covering section lies flat on a horizontal plane in an undeformed state. The sole cover is of a sufficient elasticity that enables the first covering section to bend downwardly when the sole cover is attached to the sole of the shoe. The angle and elasticity are of sufficient values to urge the sole cover against a bottom of the sole of the shoe to help secure the sole cover to the sole of the shoe when the sole cover is attached to the sole of the shoe.

An orthotic footwear system including a removable outsole, a removable reinforced hollow midsole attached to the top of the outsole, and a removable insole attached to the top of the midsole. A removable metatarsal pad can be attached to the top of the insole, and removable support inserts can be attached around the insole for additional support of problematic areas. Support inserts can be used to support the arch area, the heel area, or both. Each of the removable parts can be interchanged with parts of the same type having different ergonomic characteristics. The user can change the parts of the orthotic to suit their needs. Further, the support inserts can be used apart from the rest of the system, with any insole configured to receive them.

An article of footwear includes a sole structure having a chassis, an outsole, and a cushioning element. The chassis extending from an anterior end to a posterior end and includes a dock formed between the anterior end and the posterior end. The outsole extends from a first end removably coupled to the anterior end of the chassis to a second end removably coupled to the posterior end of the chassis. The cushioning element is disposed between the chassis and the outsole and includes a first portion removably engaged with the dock of the chassis. The sole structure may include a carriage removably disposed between the chassis and the outsole adjacent to the cushioning element. The carriage includes an upper frame receiving and surrounding the dock and a lower frame receiving and surrounding a portion of the outsole.

A self-adhesive foot protector, that cling to the soles of bare feet, socks, or shoes, for the purpose of avoiding the coronavirus, germs and other pathogens, the foot protector having an adhesive layer over a thin material layer that adheres to shoes, socks or bare feet, and having a tab at the heel so the foot protector can be easily removed, the objective is to place a sanitary barrier between a user's feet and the floor alleviating direct contact with public walking surfaces.

A shoe including a pliable layer conformably peelably adhered in generally matched engagement with the outsole periphery of the ground engageable surface of the outsole of the shoe.

A roofing shoe traction chassis system has a roofing shoe traction chassis with a toe strap, foot strap and heel strap coupled thereto for securing a shoe to the chassis. The chassis also has a detachable traction sheet configured for attachment to the base of the roofing shoe chassis. The roofing shoe traction chassis can be quickly donned over a pair of shoes allowing a user to wear a more comfortable and better ventilated shoe. The detachable traction sheet can be changed out as the traction layer is worn. An exemplary roofing shoe traction chassis has a strap support that extends up from a support plate and has a toe strap and foot strap aperture to receive and retain the toe and heel straps respectively. The support plate may also have post apertures for receiving and retaining heel strap posts.

A sole construction (10) for use in a high heel shoe (60) comprises at least a first skeleton sole (11) formed from a composite material such as a carbon fibre material. The skeleton sole (11) has lasting allowances (15) defined around the perimeter thereof and adapted to receive the edges of a shoe upper (61) when incorporated in a high heel shoe (60). The skeleton sole (11) is further shaped so as to define one or more recesses (16) generally centrally therein. When incorporated into a high heel shoe (60), the enhanced strength, rigidity and flexibility of the sole construction (10) allow for the use of a range of interchangeable heel constructions (30,40,50) having different heel heights.
