Accessorized Footwear

Accessorized footwear comprising:

• a shoe;
• a sheath positioned in a heelcap of the shoe, the sheath extending from proximate to a heel to proximate to a topline of the shoe such that the sheath substantially bisects the heelcap;
• a shaft selectively extensible from the sheath wherein the shaft is configured for extending proximate to an Achilles tendon of a foot positioned in the shoe such that the shaft is positioned for deflecting a bottom of a pant leg from entering a gap between the heelcap and the foot, the shaft being substantially rectangularly shaped when viewed from a back of the shoe, the shaft having upper corners, the upper corners being arcuate, the shaft comprising metal;
• a sleeve positioned over and coupled to the shaft wherein the sleeve is configured for padding the shaft, the sleeve comprising at least one of rubber, silicone, and plastic;
• and
• a coupler coupled to the shaft, the coupler being selectively couplable to the heelcap wherein the coupler is positioned for coupling to the heelcap for fixedly positioning the shaft relative to the sheath, the coupler comprising:
• a plurality of pairs of pins, the plurality of pairs of pins extending from proximate to an upper end to proximate to a lower end of the shaft, each pin of a respective pair of pins extending from a respective opposing side of the shaft, and
• a plurality of springs, each spring being coupled to and extending between the pins of a respective pair of pins such that the pins of the respective pair of pins are biased to an extended position wherein the pins of the respective pair of pins are positioned for extending from the shaft over the topline of the shoe as the shaft is extended from the sheath for retaining the shaft in an extended configuration, wherein the pins of the respective pair of pins are configured for depressing for inserting the shaft into the sheath, the plurality of pairs of pins comprising six pairs of pins.
