Abstract:

A footwear system that is comprised of a shoe base that houses an interchangeable insert. The proposed system when assembled creates a completed shoe. Assembly can be accomplished via various attachment methods. Once attached the insert can also be removed from and placed into any of the different shoe-bases as desired. The insert is selected based on the user's foot size, comfort and support needs. A complete set of inserts which meet the majority of users sizes and foot structure types will be designed and available as part of the product line. The interchangeable nature allows the shoe base to be designed and styled in any number of ways, different uses, appearances, and configurations. The insert will be able to be interchanged from shoe to shoe such as closed shoe to an open shoe; like an athletic shoe to a heel or a dress shoe to a sandal and vice versa. The result is that various types of inserts can be embedded within the shoe base, on top of the shoe base, below the shoe base or a mixture of the three allowing custom comfort for open shoes, closed shoes, athletic footwear, sandals, heels etc. over a wide range of user types and sizes.
