Composite shoe

Abstract

A composite shoe includes detachably coupled first and second shoe bodies. The second shoe body, which is a close-toed and close-heeled shoe, is received in and coupled with the first shoe body, which is a close-toed and open-heeled shoe, so that an outer bottom surface of a sole of the second shoe body lies on a surface of an insole of the first shoe body while the second shoe body has a close-toed portion inserted in a close-toed portion of the first shoe body and a close-heeled portion disposed at an open-heeled portion of the first shoe body. The close-heeled portion of the second shoe body is provided with at least one coupling element to be coupled with at least one coupling element at the open-heeled portion of the first shoe body. The composite shoe serves interchangeably as a formal outdoor shoe, a casual outdoor shoe, or an indoor slipper.
