Abstract

    • BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
  • 1. Field of Invention
  • This invention relates to footwear, specifically to sandals with one strap across the top of the shoe.
  • 2. Background of the Invention
  • In order to change the style, color and general appearance of footwear a person must purchase multiple pairs. My invention will allow a person to simply and quickly make one pair of shoes accomplish the function of many by snapping interchangeable top straps into push-to-release locking devices on a single basic shoe platform, as the wearer may desire.
  • The key to this invention is the interlocking snap devices which secure the various tops to the single sole or platform or change top straps to multiple sole platforms of different colors and styles.
    • SUMMARY
  • I have invented a shoe that has interchangeable top straps made of pliable materials that lock securely into the shoe's platform, which makes possible the changing of a single shoe's basic style and appearance quickly and economically.
