<p>A shoe having means to make putting on and taking off easier comprises a generally upright strap 6 attached to the back part 5 of the shoe. The strap 6 is flexible and moves inwardly towards the front of the shoe when a foot is inserted, but is resilient and returns to the upright position once the foot is fully inserted. The shoe back part 5 is preferably hard and strong enough to sustain downward force as the foot is exerted, and preferably leans backwards to assist the foot to slide into the shoe. Strap 6 preferably leans forwards in the upright position to assist in gripping the foot. One or more elastic pieces 1, 2, 3 may provide resilience to the strap 6. Filling 4, e.g. sponge, may be provided on the inside of the strap 6 and the back part 5 of the shoe. The strap 6 and shoe back part 5 may be manufactured as one piece, e.g. by moulding. Inclusion of the strap allows the shoe to be put on by pressing the foot into the shoe, reducing the need to bend down or use hands.</p> |
