Removable attachment for footwear

A stabilizing device for V-strap sandals, the V-strap sandals being configured to include a U-shape strap having a sole facing portion and an opposite non-sole facing portion, with a gap existing between the sole facing portion of the U-shaped strap and the sole and a thong for fitting between the first and second toes of a wearer's foot, the thong being attached at one end to the sole and at the other end to the strap, said stabilizing device comprising the following:

• an upper portion having a shape of a segment of a circle with an upper portion periphery, said segment of said upper portion having a linear chord defining an upper portion linear chord edge, said upper portion having a front portion, and an upper left part and an upper right part, and a predetermined size and shape;
• a lower portion having a shape of a segment of a circle with a lower portion periphery, with the exception of a radial linear slit extending through said lower portion periphery, for receiving the thong of a V-strap sandal, said segment of said lower portion having a linear chord defining a lower portion linear chord edge, said lower portion having a front portion, a predetermined size and shape identical to the predetermined size and shape of said upper portion with the exception of said linear slit and said slit opening;
• a single linear folding portion at said rear portions of said upper portion and said lower portion at said upper portion chord edge and said lower portion chord edge for providing a single linear fold of said upper portion and said lower portion for rendering at least a part of said upper portion to be in contact with the non-sole facing portion of the U-shaped strap and for rendering at least a part of said lower portion to be in contact with the sole facing portion of the U-shaped strap, said single linear folding portion having opposite ends and said single linear folding portion further causing said upper portion and said lower portion to face each other, said upper portion being foldable at said single linear folding portion and said upper portion and said lower portion being in engagement with each other to form overlapped, aligned, mutually-engaging upper and lower portions having a common periphery with the exception that the upper portion periphery overlaps said linear slit, said linear slit having a longitudinal axis that is transverse to said single linear folding portion, said lower portion lessening the gap between the sole facing portion of the U-shaped strap and the sole to stabilize the V-strap sandal when installed on the V-strap sandal as compared to the stability of the V-strap sandal and the wearer's foot having a wider gap between the sole facing portion of the V-shaped strap and the sole without said stabilizing device;
• said linear slit forming left and right flexible segmented semi-circular lower left and right fitting portions, said lower left and right fitting portions being configured to receive the thong of a V-strap sandal when said upper and lower portions are moved forwardly towards the thong with said linear slit in alignment with the thong of the sandal beneath the U-shaped strap on opposite sides of the thong;
• and
• connecting structure for connecting the front portions of said upper and lower portions on opposite sides and forwardly of the thong when said connecting structure is located forwardly of the thong and said linear folding portion is located rearwardly of the thong, for preventing the sliding of said stabilizing device from the V-strap sandal, said connecting structure comprising upper left connecting structure and upper right connecting structure on the upper left and upper right parts of said upper portion, and lower left connecting structure and lower right connecting structure on the respective lower left and lower right fitting portions of said lower portion, said upper left connecting structure and said upper right connecting structure being in the path of and cooperating with the respective lower left connecting structure and lower right connecting structure to selectively connect or disconnect said stabilizing device from a V-strap sandal;
• said upper left connecting structure, said upper right connecting structure, said lower left connecting structure and said lower right connecting structure being located forwardly of the thong of a V-strap sandal when said stabilizing device is on the V-strap sandal, wherein one of the upper left connecting structure and the lower left connecting structure is a loop device and the other of the upper left connecting structure and the lower left connecting structure is a cooperating hook device, and wherein one of the upper right connecting structure and the lower right connecting structure is a loop device and the other of the upper right connecting structure and the lower right connecting structure is a cooperating hook device.
