Abstract:
A shoe with a built-in appliance essentially consisting of two length-adjustable bands, each starting from approximately the same point, namely, the mid-point of a shoe sole, nearer to the outer edge than to the inner edge. Each band, which may be made up of more than one strip, extends upwardly to an anchor in the upper part of the shoe. The upper anchor can be on the outside of the shoe, in which event, the bands will pass through slots in the lower part of the shoe upper. The bands diverge from each other in an upward direction and thereby form what, in effect, are a pair of divergent slings.
