Claims9
A system for adjusting a dimension of a pair of shoes comprising:
- a first shoe of the pair of shoes comprising a first footbed having a first plurality of recesses;
- a second shoe of the pair of shoes comprising a second footbed having a second plurality of recesses;
- a first sole portion having a first plurality of longer protrusions on a side of the first sole portion and a first plurality of shorter protrusions on an opposite side of the first sole portion;
- and
- a second sole portion having a second plurality of longer protrusions on a side of the second sole portion and a second plurality of shorter protrusions on an opposite side of the second sole portion;
- wherein, in a first size orientation, the first sole portion is positioned in the first shoe such that the first plurality of shorter protrusions are adjacent to the first footbed and received into the first plurality of recesses, and the second sole portion is positioned in the second shoe such that the second plurality of shorter protrusions are adjacent to the second footbed and received into the second plurality of recesses;
- wherein, in a second size orientation, the first sole portion is rotated and positioned in the second shoe such that the first plurality of longer protrusions are adjacent to the second footbed and received into the second plurality of recesses, and the second sole portion is rotated and positioned in the first shoe such that the second plurality of longer protrusions are adjacent to the first footbed and received into the first plurality of recesses;
- and
- wherein, a dimension is larger in the second size orientation than in the first size orientation.
