A shoe with an elastic weave portion that is comprised of wefts and warps to form a basketweave. The elastic weave portion is attached to a non-elastic reinforcement section. In one embodiment, the reinforcement section is a strip with each end attached to the shoe's sole at opposite sides of the shoe. In another embodiment, the reinforcement section is not attached to the shoe's sole. The elastic weave portion is attached to the reinforcement section by interlacing the wefts and/or warps through slits in the reinforcement section. This provides a superior attachment over conventional methods, and provides improved structure, form, and rigidity to the elastic weave portion.
