Definitions

the portion of the footwear sole through which the midfoot channel passes, the midfoot shank, is preferably comprised of a relatively stiff and hard material. Incorporation of such shank material enables the channel to not significantly compress and thereby not pinch the strap passing through it during use. The strap may thus be free to move through this channel as the foot moves in different directions during use.
the sole including the arch channel may be manufactured separate from the sole and may be affixed thereto by molding or with an adhesive. This allows for the shank including the midfoot channel to be constructed of a relatively hard and stiff material and to be conveniently attached to a softer, more pliable sole. Alternatively, the shank portion may also be an integral portion of the sole.
the relatively stiff and resilient arch channel also functions as a standard type shank to add desirable stiffness and torsional rigidity to the sole, as will be discussed in greater detail below in relation to additional embodiments of the invention.
the preferred sandal embodiment further may comprise a front strap system for releasably attaching the sole to the forefoot, and a heel strap system for releasably attaching the sole to the wearer's heel.
the heel strap system may include a pair of opposing heel posts that may extend upward from the sole at the medial and lateral sides of the heel portion of the sole.
the heel strap system may include a T-strap having a downwardly extending portion that attaches to the center, rear of the sole, behind the wearer's Achilles tendon.
the two free ends of the X-strap can be connected to the front of the lateral and medial heel posts.
a side member or lateral strap may be further used that extends from the lateral heel post to the front strap to provide additional support for the foot.
additional strap configurations now known or hereafter devised by those skilled in the art may be utilized.
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of a strapping system of the present invention
FIG. 2 is a detail of one embodiment of a fastener for use in connection with of the strapping system of the present invention
strap 1 is operatively attached at a first end 3 to one side, e.g. the lateral side, of the heel portion of the footwear. Strap 1 preferably extends transversely across and forwardly across and over the instep of a wearer's foot. In accordance with certain aspects of the present invention, a strap passes through midfoot channel 31, entering at a medial side 5 and emerging at a lateral side 9. Strap 1 then preferably extends in a rearward, transverse direction back across the foot instep. Strap 1 is preferably adjustably attached at a second end 11 to the medial side of a heel portion of the footwear.
strap 1 is free to move through channel 31, thereby tending to enable a dynamic, self adjusting fit.
midfoot channel 31 allows strap 1 freedom to respond. This allows for strap 1 to maintain its fit across the foot instep and for maintenance of a correspondingly firm, responsive, and comfortable fit even during vigorous activity.
movement of strap 1 in channel 31 is not required.
