FairyJanes: "The Suspender for Stilettos"

The present invention is an article of footwear and accessory having a stabilizing element that is added to the shoe structure. The stabilizing element is located primarily in the heel and ankle region of the foot and footwear but extends into both the instep and heel regions. In one embodiment, the stabilizing element includes a strap, buckle, snaps, a stud, and holes to secure the shoe strap from the foot to the ankle. The function of the stabilizing FairyJanes strap is to provide support along the longitudinal length of the foot, the instep, arch and heel so as to stabilize the shoe to the foot in a functional and aesthetic manner. This also permits secure flexion during the use of low, medium and high heeled shoes.

• The foot/shoe support system is provided to facilitate a support of the arch, instep, heel and ankle of a shoe to the ankle in a variety of configurations as well as an aesthetic and interchangeable look for the wearer of the FairyJanes.
• The transportability of straps from one shoe to another is one of the most desirable advantages of the aforementioned shoe. Another highly desirable feature is the ability to rearrange the straps in different methods on the instep, arch and ankle of the foot to secure the heeled shoe or boot. The strap is made in different colors, fabrics, and patterns can be used as the consumer wishes. Yet another advantage of the shoe is the ability to change or remove straps that support the ankle at the heel portion of the shoe.
