Abstract

A footwear for sporting activity having tightening belts comprises a plurality of adjustable belts, at least two securing pins configured to pass in a one on one manner through a plurality of holes disposed on each of the plurality of adjustable belts for enabling a partially releasable fastening mechanism of the plurality of adjustable belts on a first surface of the footwear device, and a plurality of hook and loop units disposed on a second surface of the footwear device in a predetermined position proximate to the plurality of adjustable belts for retaining a loose end of each of the plurality of adjustable belts in a relievable configuration. Each of the plurality of adjustable belts is configured to tighten the footwear device while the footwear device is worn by a user.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A footwear device, comprising:
 a plurality of adjustable belts;   at least two securing pins configured to pass in a one on one manner through a plurality of holes disposed on each of the plurality of adjustable belts for enabling a partially releasable fastening mechanism of the plurality of adjustable belts on a first surface of the footwear device; and   a plurality of hook and loop units disposed on a second surface of the footwear device in a predetermined position proximate to the plurality of adjustable belts for retaining a loose end of each of the plurality of adjustable belts in a relievable configuration.   
   
   
       2 . The footwear device of  claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of adjustable belts is configured to tighten the footwear device while the footwear device is worn by a user. 
   
   
       3 . The footwear device of  claim 1 , wherein at least one notch is positioned between at least two adjustable belts of the plurality of adjustable belts to enable a flexible ankle movement for the user. 
   
   
       4 . The footwear device of  claim 2 , wherein at least one notch is positioned between at least two adjustable belts of the plurality of adjustable belts to enable a flexible ankle movement for the user. 
   
   
       5 . The footwear device of  claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of hook and loop units is configured to retain the loose end of at least one of the plurality of adjustable belts. 
   
   
       6 . The footwear device of  claim 1 , wherein the first surface is an upper surface of the footwear device. 
   
   
       7 . The footwear device of  claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of adjustable belts is used as padding means for protecting feet of the user from shocks. 
   
   
       8 . The footwear device of  claim 2 , wherein each of the plurality of adjustable belts is used as padding means for protecting feet of the user from shocks. 
   
   
       9 . The footwear device of  claim 7 , wherein each of the plurality of adjustable belts is made of a leather material. 
   
   
       10 . The footwear device of  claim 9 , wherein each of the plurality of adjustable belts is of a predetermined length for covering maximal space across an opening surface of the footwear device. 
   
   
       11 . The footwear device of  claim 6 , wherein the opening surface of the footwear device is proximate to the upper surface. 
   
   
       12 . The footwear device of  claim 10 , wherein the opening surface of the footwear device is proximate to the upper surface. 
   
   
       13 . A method of securely tightening a footwear device, the method comprising:
 enabling a releasable coupling between a plurality of securing pins and a plurality of holes disposed in an adjustable belt, whereby the releasable coupling is enabled in an one on one configuration; and   retaining a loose end of the adjustable belt responsive to enabling the releasable coupling.   
   
   
       14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the step of enabling the releasable coupling comprising a step of enabling a releasable fixation between at least one securing pin and at least one hole. 
   
   
       15 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the step of retaining a loose end of the adjustable belt comprising a step of hooking and looping of the loose end of the adjustable belt. 
   
   
       16 . The method of  claim 13 , comprising a step of enabling flexibility of ankle movement for a user wearing the footwear device through a notch means.
