Benefits of technology
The present invention provides a holster that is integrated with footwear, allowing the wearer to carry and access a firearm comfortably, securely, and safely. The holster has an internal layer and an external layer with an opening that can receive a firearm and stabilize it. The optical effect of the invention is the creation of a comfortable, secure, and safe way to carry and access firearms.
Problems solved by technology
However, due to the detachability, these holsters are typically uncomfortable, inconvenient and not securely fastened to the person, thus creating an unsafe environment for both the person carrying the firearm and those person surrounding the person carrying the firearm.
Additionally, opportunities exist for the holster to be forgotten or misplaced because of the detachability and unsecure fastening.
Furthermore, because these holsters are typically fastened to an exterior of the footwear or the leg, the firearm may protrude undesirably outwardly effecting a noticeable protuberance in the pant leg or the footwear.
As a result of the protuberance, total concealment of the firearm is compromised.
These designs and methods of positioning the firearm within the footwear are unsafe because the firearm undesireably moves within the footwear due to the minimal securement thereof and lack of the holster conforming to a contour of the firearm.
Additionally, minimal space often exists between the leg and the interior of the footwear.
Therefore, a placement of the firearm within the footwear likely causes discomfort and burdens efficient access to the firearm.
