A flexible shoe includes an under sole, a foot bed, a first over-foot portion, and a second over-foot portion. The under sole is formed of ballistic nylon. The foot bed is arranged on an upper surface of the under sole. The first over-foot portion is attached to the under sole and is configured to flexibly overly an instep of a foot of a user forward of an ankle of the user. The second over-foot portion is configured to flexibly wrap around a heel of the user rearward of the ankle of the user and includes a tab extending toward and coupled a heel portion of the under sole. The under sole, the first over-foot portion, and the second over-foot portion define a cavity configured to enclose the foot of the user. The foot bed is positioned entirely within the cavity.

An article of footwear includes a knitted upper component and a thermoplastic polyurethane yarn stitched into a region of the knitted upper component. The thermoplastic polyurethane yarn is fused with the knitted component at the region of the knitted upper component. The article of footwear may include at least one of an outer sole and a midsole connected to the upper, with at least one of the outer sole and the midsole formed of knitwear.

Described are shoes, particularly a sports shoe, having an upper and at least one of an outer sole and a midsole connected to the upper. As examples, the outer sole is knitted in a unitary fashion with the upper. As further examples, an insert is positioned within the one-piece knitwear, wherein the insert comprises a profile that increases traction of the outer sole.

Nonslip shower footwear for preventing slippage in showers includes a first shoe that comprises a sole. The sole has a top layer and a bottom layer, which are mutually coupled along their respective perimeters to define an interior space that comprises a gel. A plurality of grips is coupled to and extends from the bottom layer. The grips are tackified to prevent slippage. A shell is coupled to the perimeter of the top layer. The shell and the sole define an internal space that is complimentary to the foot of the user. An entry is positioned in the shell proximate to a first end of the sole for insertion of the user's foot. A plurality of openings is positioned in the shell for water to flow into and drain from the internal space. The footwear includes a second shoe that is a mirror image of the first shoe.

Aspects of the invention can be directed to a boot including a sole portion, a lower portion, and a boot shaft portion. The sole portion, the lower portion and the boot shaft portion can be formed as a unitary member composed of a single compound. The wherein the single compound can include: EVA in the range of 17% to 27%, POE in the range of 6% to 16%, SEBS in the range of 10% to 20%, and rubber in the range of 19% to 29%.
