Abstract

Shoes which are made of, or coated with, color-changeable materials, and which further can have holes and be decorated with pin members.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A shoe for wearing on a wearer's foot, said shoe comprising a body member, said body member being made substantially of an elastomeric or soft polymer material and having photochromic or thermochromic properties. 
     
     
         2 . A shoe as described in  claim 1  wherein said elastomeric or soft polymer material comprises an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer. 
     
     
         3 . The shoe as described in  claim 1  wherein said photochromic or thermochromic properties are provided by a dye or ink being added to the elastomeric or soft polymer material. 
     
     
         4 . The shoe as described in  claim 1  wherein said photochromic or thermochromic properties are provided by a thermal point being applied to the elastomeric or soft polymer material. 
     
     
         5 . A shoe as described in  claim 1  wherein said elastomeric or soft polymer material comprises an ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer and wherein said photochromic or thermochromic properties are provided by a dye or ink being added to the elastomeric or soft polymer material. 
     
     
         6 . A shoe for wearing on a wearer's foot, said shoe comprising a body member, said body member being made substantially of an elastomeric material and having photochromic or thermochromic properties. 
     
     
         7 . A shoe for wearing n a wearer's foot, said shoe comprising a body member, said body member being made substantially of a soft polymer material and having photochromic or thermochromic properties. 
     
     
         8 . A shoe for wearing on a wearer's foot, said shoe comprising a body member, said body member being made substantially of an elastomeric or soft polymer material and having photochromic properties. 
     
     
         9 . A shoe for wearing on a wearer's foot, said shoe comprising a body member, said body member being made substantially of an elastomeric or soft polymer material and having thermochromic properties. 
     
     
         10 . A shoe comprising:
 a body member made of a soft elastomeric material;   said body member having a plurality of openings therein for placement of pin members;   said body member comprising UV sensitive material;   wherein said body member can change color when exposed to UV light.   
     
     
         11 . A shoe as described in  claim 10 , wherein said soft elastomeric material comprises a closed-cell foam material. 
     
     
         12 . A shoe as described in  claim 10 , wherein said UV sensitive material comprises a thermochromic or photochromic material. 
     
     
         13 . A shoe as described in  claim 10 , wherein said UV material comprises an ingredient in the formation of the shoe member. 
     
     
         14 . A shoe as described in  claim 10 , wherein said UV material is embedded in the shoe member. 
     
     
         15 . A shoe as described in  claim 10  wherein said UV material comprises a thermal paint, dye or ink. 
     
     
         16 . A shoe as described in  claim 10  further comprising at least one pin member for placement in one of said openings. 
     
     
         17 . A shoe as described in  claim 16  wherein said pin member has UV sensitive material thereon, and wherein said UV sensitive material can change color when exposed to UV light. 
     
     
         18 . A shoe comprising:
 a body member made of a soft elastomeric material;   said body member having a plurality of openings therein for placement of pin members;   said body member comprising temperature sensitive material;   wherein said body member can change color when exposed to high temperatures.   
     
     
         19 . A shoe as described in  claim 18 , wherein said soft elastomeric material comprises a closed-cell foam material. 
     
     
         20 . A shoe as described in  claim 18 , wherein said UV material comprises an ingredient in the formation of the shoe member. 
     
     
         21 . A shoe as described in  claim 18 , wherein said temperature sensitive material is embedded in the shoe member. 
     
     
         22 . A shoe as described in  claim 18  wherein said temperature sensitive material comprises a thermal paint, dye or ink. 
     
     
         23 . A shoe as described in  claim 18  further comprising at least one pin member for placement in one of said openings. 
     
     
         24 . A shoe as described in  claim 23  wherein said pin member has thermal sensitive material thereon.
