Shoe system with scarf tie

Abstract

A shoe system having one or more shoe bases and one or more interchangeable scarves. The interchangeable scarves are used to secure at least a portion of a shoe base to the wearer. Each scarf member is constructed from a pliable material and includes a rigid aglet at one or both ends thereof which has cross-sectional shape which substantially matches or mates with the cross-sectional shape of an aperture formed in each shoe base, or on an extension thereof, comprising the shoe system.

1 . A shoe system comprising: 
 at least one scarf constructed from a pliable material;    at least one shoe base having an aperture extending entirely through a width thereof;    said scarf having two ends, at least one end of which having a rigid aglet secured thereto;    wherein a cross-sectional shape of the aglet is substantially the same as a cross-sectional shape of said aperture extending through the width of said shoe base; and    wherein aligning an aglet end of the scarf with the aperture of the shoe base is required to permit the scarf to be secured to and removed from the shoe base.    
     
     
         2 . The shoe system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said at least one shoe base is of a stiletto style.  
     
     
         3 . The shoe system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said at least one shoe base is of a wedge style.  
     
     
         4 . The shoe system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said at least one shoe base is of a flat style.  
     
     
         5 . The shoe system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the cross-sectional shape of the aglet is non-circular and symmetrical.  
     
     
         6 . The shoe system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the cross-sectional shape of the aglet is a free-form.  
     
     
         7 . The shoe system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein the scarf is formed of cloth.  
     
     
         8 . A shoe system comprising: 
 at least one scarf constructed from a pliable material;    at least one shoe base having an aperture formed through an extension thereof;    said scarf having two ends, at least one end of which having a rigid aglet secured thereto;    wherein a cross-sectional shape of the aglet is substantially the same as a cross-sectional shape of said aperture; and    wherein aligning an aglet end of the scarf with the aperture located on the extension of the shoe base is required to permit the scarf to be secured to and removed from the shoe base.    
     
     
         9 . The shoe system as recited in  claim 8 , wherein said at least one shoe base is of a stiletto style.  
     
     
         10 . The shoe system as recited in  claim 8 , wherein said at least one shoe base is of a wedge style.  
     
     
         11 . The shoe system as recited in  claim 8 , wherein said at least one shoe base is of a flat style.  
     
     
         12 . The shoe system as recited in  claim 8 , wherein the cross-sectional shape of the aglet is non-circular and symmetrical.  
     
     
         13 . The shoe system as recited in  claim 8 , wherein the cross-sectional shape of the aglet is a free-form.  
     
     
         14 . The shoe system as recited in  claim 8 , wherein the scarf is formed of cloth.  
     
     
         15 . A shoe system comprising: 
 one or more scarves constructed from a pliable material;    one or more shoe bases having an aperture associated therewith;    each of said scarves having two ends, at least one of which ends has rigid aglet secured thereto;    wherein the cross-sectional shape of the aglet is substantially the same as a cross-sectional shape of said aperture associated with said shoe base; and    wherein aligning an aglet end of a scarf with the aperture of the shoe base is required to permit the scarf to be secured to and removed from the shoe base.    
     
     
         16 . The shoe system as recited in  claim 15 , wherein said at least one shoe base is of a stiletto style.  
     
     
         17 . The shoe system as recited in  claim 15 , wherein said at least one shoe base is of a wedge style.  
     
     
         18 . The shoe system as recited in  claim 15 , wherein said at least one shoe base is of a flat style.  
     
     
         19 . The shoe system as recited in  claim 15 , wherein the cross-sectional shape of the aglets is non-circular and symmetrical.  
     
     
         20 . The shoe system as recited in  claim 15 , wherein the cross-sectional shape of the aglets is a free-form.
