Shoe accessory and related system, kit, and method of use

A shoe accessory configured to be removably attached to a polygonal hole of a shoe, the shoe accessory comprising:

• an outer flange having a first length;
• an inner flange having a second length greater than the first length;
• and
• a connecting portion spacing the outer flange from the inner flange, the connecting portion having a polygonal cross-section;
• wherein:
• the inner flange is configured to be inserted through the polygonal hole of the shoe,
• the connecting portion is configured to be disposed within the polygonal hole of the shoe,
• the outer flange is configured to be disposed adjacent an outer surface of the shoe, and
• insertion of the inner flange into the polygonal hole results in the polygonal hole being stretched along an axis,
• wherein the polygonal cross-section of the connecting portion is a trapezoidal cross-section,
• wherein an entire edge of the outer flange extends beyond the polygonal cross-section of the connecting portion,
• wherein two edges of the inner flange extend beyond the polygonal cross-section of the connecting portion,
• wherein the two edges of the inner flange are interrupted by an edge of the inner flange that is coextensive with the polygonal cross-section of the connecting portion,
• wherein the polygonal cross-section of the connecting portion is trapezoidal and the two edges of the inner flange that extend beyond the polygonal cross-section of the connecting portion are interrupted by two parallel edges of the inner flange that are coextensive with the polygonal cross-section of the connecting portion,
• wherein the outer flange has a first height, the inner flange has a second height, and the connecting portion has a third height,
• wherein the first height is greater than the second height and the third height,
• wherein the second height is substantially equal to the third height,
• wherein the connecting portion further includes a third length, the third length is less than the first length and the second length.
