Shoe Having Shoehorn Compartment

Abstract

A shoe having a shoehorn compartment in which a shoe horn can be positioned for storage. The shoe includes a body having an interior volume with a sole therein. The heel portion of the shoe includes a compartment in which a shoehorn is removably positioned. The compartment is disposed beneath the sole so as to not interfere with the shape or configuration of the sole, allowing the shoe to be worn comfortably. The exterior of the heel of the shoe includes a flap pivotally disposed over the compartment so as to cover the compartment while also providing access thereto when the flap is pivoted away from the compartment so that the shoehorn can be retrieved therefrom.
