Sandal with detachable foot cover

A selectively detachable foot cover for sandals, comprising:

• a body having a planar surface with a first terminal edge and a second terminal edge;
• and
• at least one cover connector defined proximate each of said first and second terminal edges and attached to said body, wherein said cover connector defines a cavity for receipt of at least one pin of a base of the sandal, said cavity being formed by:
• a first surface which is a surface of said cover connector closest to a base of the sandal, said first surface including:
• an inlet;
• a neck connected to said inlet;
• and
• a bottom connected to said neck, wherein said bottom comprises a protrusion extending from a side of said bottom, such that the at least one pin engages with an end of said protrusion when the sandal is assembled;
• and
• side walls which extend from said first surface, said side walls including a first segment which is linear and which forms an oblique angle λ with respect to said first surface such that a portion of said cavity farthest from said first surface has a width greater than a width of said cavity at said first surface.

A sandal, comprising:

• a base, comprising:
• a top surface upon which a human foot rests;
• and
• first and second opposed side surfaces, said first and second opposed side surfaces each having at least one pin;
• and
• a foot cover, selectively detachable from said base, comprising:
• a planar surface with a first terminal edge and a second terminal edge;
• and
• at least one cover connector defined proximate each of said first and second terminal edges and attached to said planar surface of said foot cover, wherein said at least one cover connector defines a cavity for receipt of said at least one pin, said cavity being formed by:
• a first surface which is a surface of said cover connector closest to said base, said first surface including:
• an inlet;
• a neck connected to said inlet;
• and
• a bottom connected to said neck, wherein said bottom comprises a protrusion extending from a side of said bottom, such that said at least one pin engages with an end of said protrusion when said sandal is assembled, wherein a width of said inlet is greater than a width of said neck, wherein said protrusion extends in a direction beyond said neck toward a back of said base where a heel of the human foot rests, wherein said protrusion includes first and second parallel edges, said first parallel edge being closer to said inlet than said second parallel edge such that a width of said protrusion between said first and second parallel edges is equal to said width of said neck, and wherein an intersection between said bottom and said first parallel edge is rounded.
