- the locking member 925 is then held in place by the insole 920, which fits over the midsole 910 and thus over the locking member 925 and channel 930.
- the insole 920 further includes an aperture 935, through which a toe member 940 of the upper 910 extends and locks into a mount 945 of the midsole 910.
- the toe member 940 can be slotted into the mount 945 and locked into place by rotating the toe member 940 relative to the mount 945, as discussed in further detail with reference to Figure 11.
- Figure 10a illustrates a close-up view of a front of the shoe 900 illustrating the channel 930
- Figure 10b illustrates a close-up view of the locking member 925.
- the channel 930 is defined by a floor 1005, opposing sidewalls 1010a, 1010b extending upwardly from the floor 1005, and a rail 1015, extending inwardly from the sidewall 1010a.
- the locking member 925 is defined by a base 1020, opposing sidewalls 1025a, 1025b extending upwardly from the base 1020 and a channel 1030.
- the locking member 925 is configured to slide along the channel 930, while lateral movement is prevented by the rail 1015 and sidewalls 1010a, 1010b.
- the sidewalls 1025a, 1025b of the locking member 925 ( abut ) the sidewalls 1010a, 1010b of the channel 930, preventing rotation of the locking member 925 in the channel 930, and the rail 1015 engages with the channel 1030 to prevent lateral translation of the locking member 925.
- the floor 1005 of the channel 930 includes a plurality of depressions 1035, spaced periodically along a length of the channel 930.
- the locking member 925 includes a protuberance (not illustrated) extending downwardly from the base 1020, which engages with a depression of the plurality of depressions 1035 to prevent the locking member 925 from sliding freely along the channel 930. As such, the upper is held in place by the locking member 925.
- Figure 11 illustrates a cross sectional view of the toe member 940 engaged with the mount 945.
- the toe member 940 comprises a metallic or plastic boss with three lobes 1105 that align with corresponding slots of the mount 940 when the boss is twisted 30 degrees from centre.
- the toe member 940 is pushed into the mount 945 such that the lobes 1105 travel along the channels, and is then rotated into a locking position such that the lobes no longer align with the slots to prevent inadvertent removal of the toe member 940.
- the mount 945 comprises a moulded ridge that extends around a periphery of the mount, though which the slots extend. As such, the moulded ridge prevents removal of the toe member 940 together with the lobes 1105.
- a tubular mount of the sole 915 extends upward into the mount 945, and includes a front sole mount clip ridge 1115, which seats against the moulded ridge of the midsole, and prevents removal of the toe member 940 from the shoe.
- Figure 12 illustrates a cross section of the heel 915a of the shoe 900, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the heel includes a securing pin 1205, partially overmoulded, and configured to extend into and engage with a mount of the midsole 905.
- An upper portion of the securing pin 1205 is hollow, and is configured to receive a securing pin 1210 of the insole 920.
- the securing pin 1210 biases a fastening channel 1215 of the securing pin 1205 against a fastening ridge 1220 of the mount of the midsole 905.
- the insole 920 is releasably coupled to the midsole 905 by rivets.
- a male rivet 1225 of the insole 920 engages with a female rivet 1230 of the midsole in a press-fit like action.
- the midsole includes a square-shaped locating boss 1235, which assists the user in locating the heel 915a onto the shoe 900.
- the heel 915a includes a corresponding recess, which ensures that the heel 915a, and in particular the securing pin 1205 is aligned with the mount when attaching the heel 915a.
- Figure 13 illustrates an exploded lower perspective view of a shoe 1300, according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the shoe 1300 includes an inner sole 1305, a support shank 1310, a midsole 1315, and a sole in the form of a front sole 1320a and a heel 1320b, and is similar to the shoe 900.
- the inner sole 1305 includes a plurality of ball studs 1325 that engage with corresponding recesses of the midsole 1315 in a snap-fit like manner.
- Uppers such as straps and vamps, and upper accessories, such as bands, ribbons, flowers, chains or the like, may include holes such that they may attach to the shoe 1300 by pushing a part of the accessary over one or more ball studs 1325. This negates the need for an extra system to secure uppers or upper accessories to the shoe, and simplifies assembly.
- the shank 1310 is received in a recess of the midsole 1315, and below the inner sole 1305, and provides support to the midsole 1315 and gives the shoe 1300 shape.
- the midsole 1315 is generally formed of semi soft material, and may be configured to conform to different shanks 1310, to provide different shapes for different heel heights.
- the items of footwear also enable longevity as different sections of the shoe can be replaced due to wear and tear.
- the retaining members may include a soft internal overlay to increase wearer comfort.
- Figure 14 illustrates a portion of a shoe 1400 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
- the shoe 1400 can be adapted in length and/or width, as outlined in further detail below.
- the shoe 1400 comprises a midsole having a front midsole portion 1405a, and a rear midsole portion 1405b, which are held together and supported by a shank 1410.
- the rear midsole portion 1405b includes first and second pins 1415, which engage with corresponding portions of the front midsole portion 1405a, to provide lateral support between the front midsole portion 1405a and the rear midsole portion 1405b.
- the shank 1410 includes front and rear apertures 1420, which engage with circular clips 1425 of the front midsole portion 1405a and the rear midsole portion 1405b. As such, the shank 1410 not only provides support for the midsole, but also prevents the front midsole portion 1405a from disengaging with the rear midsole portion 1405b.
- the shoe 1400 may be made wider and/or longer by replacing the front midsole portion 1405a, or adjusted in any way though the selection of matching front and rear midsole portions 1405a, 1405b.
- kits may be provided including several upper portions, several heel portions, and/or several sole portions, for changing an appearance or function of the shoe.
- the upper portions may be provided in different materials, colours, sizes, lengths, styles and thicknesses, to change a style or function of the footwear.
- heels and/or soles of different heights, colours or styles may be provided.
- the items of footwear may include toe and heel uppers that have attachment points on inner and/or outer sides that can be used to attach the front toe and back heel sections together with straps/ribbons/laces/scarves or other means to enhance comfort and style.
- An upper strip may be used to cover the track/retaining slots on the midsole when not used.
