Adjustable shoe

An article of footwear comprising:

• a sole having a toe end, a medial side, a lateral side, and heel end;
• a medial flap, a lateral flap, and a toe cap each disposed as integral extensions of the sole, the toe cap having a distal end with a fastener mounting hole;
• a plurality of longitudinally spaced and aligned holes through each of the medial flap and the lateral flap, wherein the plurality of longitudinally spaced and aligned holes through the medial flap or the lateral flap are adapted to selectively overlap a corresponding plurality of longitudinally spaced and aligned holes through the other of the lateral flap or medial flap, respectively, and a toe fastener on a distal end of the toe cap is adapted to extend through at least one of the plurality of longitudinally spaced and aligned holes of one or both of the medial flap and the lateral flap;
• a plurality of connecting straps adjustably connecting the medial flap with the lateral flap;
• and
• an adjustable heel strap adjustably connected to the medial flap and the lateral flap and extending around the heel end of the sole.

An article of footwear comprising:

• a sole having a toe end, a medial side, a lateral side, and a heel end;
• an integral medial flap extending from the medial side of the sole and adapted to wrap upwardly and at least partially over the sole in the direction of the lateral side, the medial flap having a plurality of longitudinally spaced and aligned holes, including a single primary row of plurality of longitudinally spaced and aligned holes;
• an integral lateral flap extending from the lateral side of the sole and adapted to wrap upwardly and at least partially over the sole in the direction of the medial side, the lateral flap having a plurality of rows of a plurality of longitudinally spaced and aligned holes, wherein one of the rows of the plurality of longitudinally spaced and aligned holes through the lateral flap is adapted to selectively overlap the plurality of longitudinally spaced and aligned holes through the medial flap;
• an integral toe cap extending from the toe end of the sole and adapted to wrap upwardly and partially over the sole in the direction of the heel end, wherein a toe fastener on the distal end of the toe cap is adapted to extend through at least one of the single primary row of plurality of longitudinally spaced and aligned holes of the medial flap and/or at least one of the plurality of longitudinally spaced and aligned holes of one or both of the medial flap and the lateral flap;
• a pair of connecting straps disposed on the medial flap and a pair of flap buckles disposed on the lateral flap, wherein the pair of connecting straps each further comprises a plurality of longitudinally spaced and aligned holes within which a prong of one of the flap buckles may be selectively inserted to adjustably secure the connecting straps to the lateral flap and thereby adjustably secure the medial flap and lateral flap one to the other;
• and
• an adjustable heel strap connected to the medial flap and the lateral flap and extending around the heel end of the sole, wherein the adjustable heel strap further comprises a mounting hole at a first end through which a fastener extends to attach the adjustable heel strap to one of the lateral flap or medial flap and a plurality of longitudinally spaced and aligned holes at a second end thereof within which a prong of a heel buckle disposed on the other of the medial flap or the lateral flap may be selectively inserted to adjustably secure the second end of the adjustable heel strap to the other of the medial flap or lateral flap.
