In an athletic shoe forming a pocket at its quarter portion, the pocket comprises a liner of material, or a pair of the same, each stitched or otherwise fastened to the side or quarter portion of the shoe, and integrally constructed therein, so that the various edges of the pocket are confiningly affixed to the shoe, while the bottom edge of the pocket may be stitched to the quarter panel upwardly of the sole, or may be secured with the shoe through the effort of the stitching or adhesive that holds the quarter portion to the sole shank. Proximate the rearward edge of the pocket, or perhaps forwardly thereof, as in various embodiments, there is provided a slot opening, which may be securable through the connection of a zipper, or other closure means, so that access may be attained into the pocket for admitting personal items therein. A covering flap attaches just forwardly of the slot opening, at the location of its zipper or another closure means, and extends rearwardly for overlying the emplaced zipper, and adhering against the formed pocket rearwardly thereof, or perhaps that quarter portion of the shoe located rearwardly thereof, so as to provide overlying coverage of this operative portion of the pocket slot.
