<p>In a pair of laced footwear, each item of footwear includes a sole (14) and an upper (12) which are formed from a transparent material. The footwear (10) includes a tongue (40) and an insole (60) which are removably assembled to the footwear and which are provided with non-transparent indicia consisting of a solid color or a suitable design or pattern (48, 50) which will be clearly visible through the footwear when the insole and tongue are assembled thereto. The indicia on opposite surfaces (42, 44) of the tongue may be diferent from each other, yet may be the same as the indicia on opposite surfaces of the insole. A shoelace (26) for tightening the footwear around the foot of a wearer includes indicia which may or may not be the same as the indicia on at least one of the surfaces of the tongue or insole.</p> |
