These structures are generally formed by different devices that can be housed in the
2 footwear item and that can be easily fixed to the sole.
However, one criticism of these known footwear items with storage device could be considered the tact that they are flot designed ta prevent dirt or water from deteriorating the casing, and that they are heavy, bulky and unreliable. For the storage structures, the assembly and disassembly of systems of this kind requires a lot of time. In addition, problems result also in respect of their implementation, because these devices for storing an abject are unreliable and are flot resistant ta the weather, ta frost, or ta elevated temperatures. In particular, over time, these storage devices can easily detach from the footwear item (in the case of frost or elevated temperatures) or are no longer leak-tight.
Difficulties in respect of implementation manif est in particular for certain storage devices which are flot securely fixed ta the footwear item or which are flot completely leak-tight, which poses certain problems.
In addition, these known devices for storing information or an abject in footwear items are relatively easy ta open, even for a child. Furthermore, access ta the information or the abject placed in the known storage devices is not facilitated.
Summary of the invention It is therefore clear that there is a need for a system which, ta a large extent, makes it possible ta overcome the disadvantages encountered in the prior art. One abject of the invention is ta provide a footwear item comprising a device for storing information or an abject.
The invention has a number of objectives:
- assist individuals in danger or incapable of communicating crucial information at a specific moment (young children, handicapped individuals, individuals who have been involved in an accident resulting in memory loss, unidentified persans, etc.) - allow two adults ta communicate items and information when the persan wearing the footwear items is unable ta do sa
