Abstract:
To provide improved foldable shoe designs and improved shoe manufacturing processes.SOLUTION: A shoe comprising an upper forming an interior portion for a foot, the interior portion including toe and heel cavities, is provided. The shoe further comprises a midsole having toe and heel ends and inner and outer sides. The midsole is stitched to the upper thereby forming a bottom to the interior portion. Heel and toe outsole patches are respectively stitched onto the midsole. An insole is affixed to the bottom of the interior portion. A spacing between the heel and toe outsole patches extends from the inner to the outer side and occupies a position intermediate between the toe and heel ends, thereby permitting the shoe to fold about an axis running through the spacing. The shoe folds between an extended state in which the shoe is worn, and a folded state in which a portion of the upper comprising the toe cavity is tucked into the heel cavity.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
