- There have been described and illustrated herein several embodiments of a shoe/foot adornment and methods of fabricating and using such article. While particular embodiments have been described, it is not intended that the invention be limited thereto, as it is intended that the invention be as broad in scope as the art will allow and that the specification be read likewise. Thus, while particular materials for strips, engagement elements and decorative elements have been described, it will be appreciated that other materials could be used. For example, the strips need not be plastic (e.g., they could be formed foil or other thin metal) provided they are flexible. Similarly, the engagement elements need not be snaps, as a hook and loop (e.g., Velcro) system could be utilized. Further, the decorative element need not include rhinestones, lace or beads/pearls, as they may be formed from glass, crystal, fabric, etc., or even semi-precious or precious metals or stones. Further yet, while particular dimensions have been disclosed, it will be appreciated that adornments of different sizes are included. Thus, smaller adornments would be used for children. It will therefore be appreciated by those skilled in the art that yet other modifications could be made to the provided invention without deviating from its spirit and scope as claimed.
