Sandal with adjustable straps and interchangeable mix and match straps and insoles

Abstract

A sandal comprised of layered footwear components includes a lower base, a middle member replaceable platform which secures the straps, and an upper member replaceable insole. A hollowed out center area creates a perimeter side wall on the top of the base into which the platform is stored. A frontal (toe area) and rear (heel area) ledge crosses the toe and heel areas of the superior base horizontally. The straps are attached to a platform and secured by a present choice of a hook and loop fastener. The front and rear of the platform is eased under the front and rear ledges on the base. A midpoint lock on the platform further secures the platform to the base. A final top layer insole is secured on top of the platform and under the overlapped straps and placed into the remaining hollow area of the base hiding the shoes components. The straps and insole cooperate to form a shoe upper for receiving the foot. Platforms and insoles are interchangeable to heel, flat or wedge style bases. Exchangeably connected straps to platforms are repeatedly adjustable in horizontal and vertical directions for comfort and mix and match to create many shoe styles. Middle member platform and upper member insole may be combined and be known as the “plate”. Hook and loop fastener will remain on the underside of the plate (formerly known as the platform), and a male lock will also be located on the underside of the plate. The male lock will releaseably contact with a female lock located on the inside of the hollow area of the base. The straps will releasably connect with the hook and loop fastener on the underside of the plate and when the plate is inserted into the hollow area of the shoe base, it will hide the shoe components and the top of the plate will become a contact support for the foot and the overlapped straps will secure the foot to the base.

7 . Layered footwear components which resemble a usual and customary shoe design when assembled consisting of a shoe base of multiple styles, said shoe base stores and hides an attachable/releasable platform, said platform combines with the foot support straps, said platform with straps is interchangeably anchored to said base, a final layer insole is placed and secured above said platform under said foot support straps into the remaining storage area of said base hiding the footwear components and creating a contact support for the foot
 a. foot support straps which are exchangeably connected to platform are repeatedly adjustable for comfort in vertical and horizontal directions and mix and match to platforms   b. compatible size insoles and compatible size platforms with straps are interchangeable to all shoe base styles   c. Platform and insole may be permanently combined and inserted and releaseably secured in hollow area of shoe base as one piece, with hook and lock fastener for straps and male lock located on the underside of what will now be known as the “plate”.
