Claims14
A footwear, comprising:
- a shoe sole;
- a shoe upper member coupled on said shoe sole;
- and
- a toe guider device consisting of a first toe spacer and a second toe spacer, wherein bottom ends of said first and second toe spacers are retained by said shoe sole while top ends of said first toe spacer and said second toe spacer are retained by said shoe upper member, such that said first and second toe spacers are spacedly held at a position that said first toe spacer is arranged for being worn between first and second toes of an wearer and said second toe spacer is arranged for being worn between second and third toes of the wearer, wherein a width of said first toe spacer is lamer than a width of said second toe spacer, wherein said first toe spacer has two first opposed curving sidewalls such that a width of said first toe spacer is gradually reducing towards a mid-portion of said first toe spacer and said second toe spacer has two second opposed curving sidewalls such that a width of said second toe spacer is gradually reducing towards a mid-portion of said second toe spacer, wherein said mid-portion of said first toe spacer has a width lamer than that of said mid-portion of said second toe spacer, thereby each of said first and second opposed curving sidewalls has a curvature configured for fitting a curvature of side surfaces of the toes of the wearer.

- (b) attaching said shoe upper member on said shoe sole;
- (c) forming a toe guider device, consisting of a first toe spacer and a second toe spacer;
- (d) forming the first toe spacer between said shoe sole and said shoe upper member at a position that a bottom end of said first toe spacer is retained by said shoe sole while a top end of said first toe spacer is retained by said shoe upper member to retain said first toe spacer for being worn between first and second toes of a wearer, wherein said first toe spacer has two first opposed curving sidewalls such that a width of said first toe spacer is gradually reducing towards a mid-portion of said first toe spacer;
- and
- (e) forming the second toe spacer, having a width smaller than said first toe spacer, between said shoe sole and said shoe upper member at a position that a bottom end of said second toe spacer is retained by said shoe sole while a top end of said second toe spacer is retained by said shoe upper member to retain said second toe spacer for being worn between second and third toes of the wearer, wherein said second toe spacer has two second opposed curving sidewalls such that a width of said second toe spacer is gradually reducing towards a mid-portion of said second toe spacer, wherein said mid-portion of said first toe spacer has a width lamer than that of said mid-portion of said second toe spacer, such that each of said first and second opposed curving sidewalls has a curvature configured for fitting a curvature of side surfaces of the toes of the wearer.
