Topless shoe

A shoe comprising:

• a concave body defining sidewalls and a sole of the shoe, and comprising a first layer received within a second layer,
• said first layer comprising at least a portion of said sole and a plurality of upwardly-projecting tabs constituting an inner circumferential wall having an upper edge defining an opening, said opening being substantially similar to the sole and being disposed entirely thereabove, and
• said second layer comprising a plurality of U-shaped elements each of which comprises two walls and a bottom connecting therebetween, each of said two walls forming a portion of an outer circumferential wall of the shoe, and said bottoms forming a sole-shaped part of the second layer, said second layer being disposed on an outer surface of said first layer such that adjacent U-shaped elements are spaced from one another,
• wherein said tabs are characterized by an elasticity that enables them to be pushed outwardly thereby expanding said opening to facilitate receipt of a foot therethrough, and wherein said tabs are inwardly-biased thereby being configured to bear upon said foot when received within the cavity thereby facilitating gripping of the received foot by the shoe.
