INTEGRALLY MOLDED COMPONENTS

摘要

An integrally molded footwear assembly may include a strap support (70) forming at least a portion of a shoe, a strap (60) constructed and arranged to secure a wearer's foot to the strap support and a first connector (80) formed between the strap support and the strap. The strap support, the strap, and the first connector are integrally molded together, and the first connector is sized and shaped such that a hole forming operation that forms a first hole through the strap and the strap support removes the first connector to allow a fastener to be engaged in the first hole to secure the strap to the strap support. Methods of footwear production and an integrally molded assembly are also provided.
