The shoe 40 of this embodiment has the same advantages as those of the shoes 10 and 30, but furthermore, by changing the position where the leather band 52 is stopped with respect to the stopper 54, the range of adaptation to the size of the foot can be expanded. Since the distal end of the connecting member 48 is rotatably connected to the upper 44, the heel 46 follows the movement of the foot well, so that there is an advantage that the foot is particularly comfortable and light when used. . In addition, if the hook is removed and the connecting member 48 is removed, a sandal is obtained. In addition, it is also possible to attach the stopper 54 to the upper 44 in a non-detachable manner without using a hook. In this case, the stopper 54 is attached to the upper 44 in a state where the rear end of the upper 44 is fitted in a gap in the mounting 56 and a rivet is passed through a hole of the mounting 56 to be rotatable. You can do it anyway.

FIG. 4 shows an embodiment of the sandal of the present invention.
