• c. the lower section of the inner sole further comprising an upper surface which faces and is aligned with a lower surface of the second section, a compartment adjacent the heel for retaining objects formed into the lower section of the inner sole, the compartment having an opening adjacent the location of the heel aligned with the upper surface of the lower section of the inner sole so that objects can be inserted into and removed from the compartment when the upper surface at the location of the opening is exposed;
• d. the upper section of the inner sole being affixed to a portion of the lower section of the inner sole and removably aligned with another portion of the lower section of the inner sole at the location of the opening to the compartment;
• and
• e. mating fastener means attached at opposing surfaces of the lower section and the upper section such that when the fastener means are closed, the compartment and opening are concealed within the inner sole and when the fastener means are opened and a portion of the upper section is moved away from the lower section, the opening to the compartment is exposed.

A shoe including a heel, comprising:

• a. an inner sole sandwiched between an outer sole and an insole;
• and
• b. the inner sole being formed in two opposing sections wherein a portion of one section is removable from an opposing portion of the other section, the inner sole having a concealed compartment adjacent the heel for retaining objects formed into the inner sole, the compartment having an opening adjacent the location of the heel which is exposed when one portion of the inner sole is moved away from the opposing portion of the inner sole
• c. mating fasteners means on opposing surfaces of the two sections of the inner sole to retain them together and which permits the sections to be separated to gain access to the compartment.
