Definitions

• the invention relates to a new type of shoe, close to the tongjtnais whose sole support system underfoot is simpler and more discreet, almost invisible if it is covered with a decorative element.
• the principle is to replace the straps have two or three anchor points in the sole and which visually stand in a good part of the foot-for example-non-limiting a steel blade ⁇ visually discreet, passing between the toes and three or four centimeters only folded over the top of the foot and may be hidden by a decorative element, this folded blade forming, seen from the side, an inverted L, being rigid enough not to require a second anchor point in the This can also be a rigid plastic part.
• This shoe therefore has a relatively rigid holding piece, bent whose upper part comes on the top of the foot, 1a central part connects the upper part to the sole and the lower part is fixed in the sole, the rigidity of this piece of support being sufficient so that with a single point of attachment to the sole it keeps it under the foot when lifted.
• the central part of the holding part passes between two toes and a fraction of the upper part is close to the longitudinal axis of the foot, to prevent the sole from tilting laterally.
• the holding part adapts to the different thicknesses of feet by elastic deformation if for example non-limiting it is made of spring steel blade, piano wire or plastic. Another possibility is to make the angle between the central part and the upper part of the holding part more open than necessary, the holding part adapts to the different thicknesses of feet by permanent deformation, plastic, by folding with the thumb the upper part on the top of the foot.
• a decorative object can be attached to the top of the upper part of the holding piece. This decorative object can also fulfill the function of at least a part of the holding part, for example to act as the upper part of the latter.
• Disassembly, easy reassembly of decorative element without tool allows the owner of the shoe to change to the desire.
• Figure 1 shows the shoe viewed from the side of Figure 2 shows the shoe seen from above Figures 3,4 show different possibilities of associations holding piece / decorative object.
• the shoe consists of a soleplate (3), a holding piece (1) and a decorative object (5).
• the holding piece (1) is made of a folded high elastic steel blade whose lower part (13) is glued into the sole (3), the central part (12) is long and curved and takes, with a protective foam which covers it, the shape of the space between the toes. Its upper part (l 1) is covered by a decorative object (5).
• the decorative object 5, (fig3), is glued on a flexible tube (52) .
• the upper part (l 1) is pressed into this tube which is held tight by the latter.
• the tube also serves to protect the foot (2).
• FIG. 6 Another possible system (FIG. 6) is a retaining piece 1), itself decorative (5), for example a plastic molded part which has its central part (12) which is clipped into another female part (13). , not cylindrical to avoid turning, housed in the sole (13).
• a small metal angle or plastic can be glued under the upper face of the sole (3) especially if the latter is made of a material flexible, plastic foam. This face can also be slip friend or be coated on its rear part of a repositionable glue.
