Embodiment Construction

[0024] As used in this description, the term "orthopedic insert" means an over-the-counter foot insert and / or orthotic that provides support to the forefoot, arch area, and / or rearfoot of the foot. According to various embodiments of the present invention, such as figure 1 The modified footwear in the form of a slipper 150 shown in FIG. 2 includes an insole 1 , an upper 7 and a repositionable arch receptacle 2 . There is further provided an open heel receptacle 5 with an opening oriented towards the midsole of the insole 1 , into which receptacle a heel insert 6 can be inserted. In this embodiment, the modified footwear system is incorporated into slippers, such as house or bedroom slippers. When the receptacles 2 and 5 are securely positioned on and attached to the surface of the insole, they hold the inserted orthosis in place so they cannot move around when the user's foot is inserted, even with the back of the slipper. The same is true for department opening ( figure 2...

In particular, the present invention relates to footwear that can be selectively modified in one or more ways to fit the specific contours of a wearer's foot. The modification is accomplished by means of positionable and repositionable attachments that hold orthotic or other foot support inserts in place at various locations within the footwear to provide customized support. Background technique [0002] Shoes first arose as a convenient comfort to protect the foot, and at first their construction was rudimentary, where the shoe for both feet was identical and basic in design. They eventually became a status symbol, and as the shoe evolved, comfort became a greater concern. The advent of molded thermoplastics in the 1960's enabled molding of the material to the shape of the foot. The introduction of molded thermop...
