Benefits of technology

[0037] Yet still another feature of the present invention is that the shoe is lighter than existing footwear and utilizes different engineered structuring to allow footwear parts to move independently in response to foot movement within, due to the non-permanent adhesive construction. Therefore, a single unit will yield maximum comfort.
[0038] Another feature of the present invention is that the interlocking component system allows space for impact and response to foot movements simultaneously.
[0039] Another feature of the present invention is that composite materials may be utilized individually and in combination during integration and manufacturing of the individual component pans.
[0040] Yet another feature of the present invention is that the entire footwear can be assembled, reassembled and disassembled in minutes which facilitates replacement of individual pans and requiring less space in luggage while traveling.

Problems solved by technology

Also, individual persons have unique physical characteristics and participate in different types of activities, which could cause footwear to wear in different places.
These different styles still may not fit every person's needs and tastes.

Embodiment Construction

[0076] Firstly, referring to FIG. 1A which is a top view of the footwear with interchangeable components 10 exhibiting an upper member 12E connects to the mid-sole foot bed in side walls 12A of mid-sole foot bed 12. The upper member 12E is firmly attached by adhesive and / or stitching sewing method within a mid-sole along the mid-sole foot bed perimeter walls 12A to houses the mid-sole foot bed 12 is removably mounted to a mid-sole chassis 14 and is secured with the mid-sole interlocker 16.

[0077] Now referring to FIG. 1B which is a bottom view of the footwear with interchangeable components 10 exhibiting a mid-sole chassis 14 lower member and the mid-sole lug tread system 18 connected to a mid-sole chassis bottom 14D which is removably inserted securely into a chassis supporter base interlocker groove 14C. The interchangeable mid-sole chassis 14 may be constructed from one composite component or from separate composite materials of varying densities. The function of the removability...

Abstract

A footwear with interchangeable components that includes, an interchangeable mid-sole foot bed w/upper, an interchangeable mid-sole chassis, an interchangeable mid-sole foot bed interlocker, and an interchangeable lug-treading. The interchangeable mid-sole foot bed w/upper is removably mounted to the interchangeable mid-sole foot chassis and interlocked with an interchangeable mid-sole interlocker so that interchangeable mid-sole foot bed w/upper can be readily changed by user according to user preference. The interchangeable mid-sole chassis is removably mounted to the interchangeable mid-sole foot bed w/upper and interlocked by the interchangeable mid-sole foot bed interlocker and interchangeable lug-treading so that the interchangeable mid-sole chassis can be readily changed by user according to user preference. The interchangeable mid-sole foot bed interlocker is removably mounted to both interchangeable mid-sole foot bed w/upper and interchangeable mid-sole chassis so that the interchangeable mid-sole foot bed interlocker can be readily changed by user accordingly to user preference. And, the interchangeable lug-treading is removably mounted to the an interchangeable mid-chassis so that the interchangeable lug-treading can be readily changed by user according to user preference.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to footwear. More particularly, the present invention relates to footwear having interchangeable components such an interchangeable mid-sole foot bed w / upper, an interchangeable mid-sole chassis, an interchangeable mid-sole interlocker, and an mid-sole interchangeable lug-treading system. [0003] 2. Description of the Prior Art [0004] In the field of footwear, wearers differ in individual tastes and physical requirements. Therefore there exists a need for people to customize their own footwear according to their individual needs. For example, individual persons prefer a wide range of styles and colors of footwear. Also, individual persons have unique physical characteristics and participate in different types of activities, which could cause footwear to wear in different places. [0005] Due to these factors, many different styles of footwear have been developed based on the persons indivi...
